| Oct 22 at 7:51 | comment | added | jwenting | @njzk2 you'd be surprised. Many companies I have worked for do everything they can to prevent people calling in sick, and when they do call in sick do their utmost to bully them into returning to work before they're well again. | |

| Oct 21 at 21:02 | comment | added | njzk2 | @G_B why would anyone want to do that? Even if they manage to, all they get is a sick worker for a full salary | |
| Oct 21 at 20:55 | comment | added | G_B | @njzk2 I suspect the answer to that one is "discourage the caller from using sick leave". | |

| Oct 20 at 18:44 | comment | added | Jason Goemaat | You say "none of the bosses were around", were they on the premises and just not around to pick up the phone? If that is the case then it my have been better to put them on hold and get a manager to talk to them. If they were not on premises at all and there are no procedures for contacting a manager that isn't working, I can't see how they would react like that. | |
