i wholeheartedly disagree...you cant compare an accomplished, well educated supervisor to a pickup driving, bankrupt illiterate....society recognizes accomplishments....each and everytime we better ourselves society rewards us with power and trust....each and everytime we watch nascar society figures we ll be calling in sick next day to sleep off a pbr hangover

sofa king, be nice! hi there lovelyhair, it's been awhile huh?

i'm not trying to be mean or anything but where in the heck do people get the idea that anything the boss does is any of their business? it's like teenagers thinking that they have a right to know everything their parents think & do.

if you work for someone else, what that someone else does is none of your business. you are an employee & nothing else.

and no, maybe the "bosses" shouldn't be "showing up" on people's doorsteps to make sure they aren't lying, but one sure fire way to put a stop to the calling off sick when they aren't is to require a doctor's note EACH & EVERY time someone calls in "sick".

sick time is for ILLNESS, and only ILLNESS. people take advantage of it.

The company I work for has 2 incentives NOT to call off sick. We can get 2 extra days off per year if we have perfect attendance. We can also "sell" some of our sick time back to the company for money. I am enjoying a "Perfect Attendance" day off today, as a matter of fact. And every January I sell unused sick time back for extra money. I rarely call off sick, so I have so much sick time accrued that I will never be able to use it all before I retire.

I wasn't disagreeing with you. I agree that if a company offers sick time as an employee benefit, then the employee should be able to use it.

is selling sick leave better or worse than selling plasma?

lol...i hate when that happens
