Our company has a policy that if you’re sick for 2 days or more, you have to have a doctors note to return. So faking sick comes with a price tag for me. Also, any time I’ve ever joked about being sick, I actually end up sick. I’ll just call around and get someone to cover for me, then tell my supervisor I’m taking a personal day instead of earning some bad karma.
Just getting a doctor’s note costs something in the US? Whenever I need a note I call my GP and ask the receptionist to write me one. The doctor doesn’t even do anything except sign the paper that the receptionist prints out! Charging for that seems crazy

Doesn’t taking a ‘personal day’ cut into your days of annual leave you have?
Don’t sick days?
Are you asking if I don’t take sick days, or suggesting I don’t take (fake) sick days?
