pulling a sickie...

[Slammed]

dont ya love it

I guess that depends on your perspective, i.e. whether you are an employee or an employer.

 

Personally I've always hated it whichever side of the fence I was as if I'm off sick my workload just builds up till I get back so what's the point in taking a sickie? They also drain resources from your employer and can also put an unfair work load on your colleagues.................plus when the employer comes to make redundancies, who do you think will get looked at first, the employee with a high productivity record or the one who regularly puts in a 4 day week?

 

Food for thought eh?

Uncle Vista speaks sense once again

 

There is a bloke at work who's nickname is sicknote no prizes for guessing why and who didn’t come in today

K'in ell that makes me sound old

 

I had someone like that at a previous place of work and we used to say that "he had more time off than Nelsons Right hand"! (if anyone doesn't get that then go and look at a picture of him)

 

As to sensible, perhaps but I've seen it from both sides of the fence and think that faked sickies are a piss take. Both out of the employer and out of your colleagues, some of whom you may call friends.

Thank you but trust me, there are plenty on here wiser than me. Especially when it comes to specialist subjects like engines, gearboxes, suspension etc.

As said, I keep a close watch on sikkies and lateness, especially in the "quiet " times

[ratman]

Its scarey times all around in local goverment with bugets cut in half and whole departments going to the wall as said above the guys who dont give a sh1t will be the 1st to meet the dole cue.

TBH, last sicky i pulled was the day i had my driving test, and before that i cant remember,

 

9/10 if your honest and say youve got to do something most people are understanding...

 

 

saying that though, i have had half days when ive had to go to the "dentist"... and atually went to gigs

 

but i get bored to fook if i just pull a sicky and dont do anything all day, rather be at work / college

[redrocket]

1 sick day in 1 year 2 months, new years eve I ate some shitty food... what a day to pull a sickie on...

 

my dad took a "sick week" 2 weeks ago due to doctors orders, he pulled a muscle in his back and was on valium or something for the week. it was his first sick day (week) since 1988!
