<< The article shows father and son at a ball game, implied on a sick day. People at my workplace abused this, and we now have managers checking at home to make sure the employee is truly sick and home.

The hell? My former manager ( and her lead ) once called me when they thought I was calling in too often ( waaaaay back when ), but most would be too lazy to actually physically visit a suspected pretender.

I personally always found the division funny. If I want to be off, I will be off. The labels make zero difference to me. They matter to the company, but to me it is tertiary consideration.

I agree with you, naturally, but most of the time the employee is not setting the terms of what is considered acceptable.

I don't care when I call out sick, you don't care when you do, obviously. But there's someone out there to whom your unexpected absence is going to make a difference in their day.
