Indeed, approximately 40% of sick days are used to create effectively 3day weekends (Monday or Friday)

I get the joke but I’ve seen references to at least one study that found 35% of sick days were taken on Monday which is more than random chance.
This doesn't seem odd to me. People go out on weekends and are in contact with people they aren't normally around.
People get sick doing stupid stuff in the weekend?
