Imo there's no serotonin hit like it, especially on a Monday. Woke up to about six inches of snow this morning, with more snow forecasted for the rest of the day and said, nah no good. Who else called out today??

took 2 weeks off to fly to newfoundland for my mom's funeral, 2 days in i got covid. neglected to tell my work i got it. waited another 2 months to tell them i got "covid", showed them the test strips and everything so i could go on vacation with my girlfriend in the middle of the summer during my work's busy season.

the empath in me absolutely dreads it but after sending that email its like a weight taken off my shoulders I've been blessed by only having to go online and filling out a form. No interaction with anyone whatsoever. Gets to be pretty addictive though haha, there was a period where I would call out at least once every ten days or so because it was so easy

I’m already drinkin so maybe they’ll send me home A few months ago I really really didn't want to go in to work but I dragged myself in anyway because my last call out was too recent. Every day our supervisor checks on us to see how our day is looking, and off the top of my head I said, "Well, I'm definitely still drunk from last night so..." which was a lie but it worked and I got sent home. I had already clocked in for like five minutes too, so they had to pay me for at least four hours of time, haha. What I'm trying to get at is just tell them you're drunk and see what happens brother

since covid I still have the option on working from home at least a couple days a week so calling in doesn't really hit the same anymore. Randomly deciding to give yourself a three day weekend by blowing off either monday or friday used to be the best though.

We get a "reflection day" to use on a day that has "personal/religious significance", and I think I'm going to use it for Opening Day. lol.

I hate calling out bc I know it fucks up my teams day so much/makes everyone else’s day shittier. I only call out if I’m actually sick. If I want an extra day off/am not feelin it I’ll just look at the sched the week of and ask everyone if it’s cool if I take an extra day/offer them all an extra day as well lol
As a boss I try to not have my team annoyed at me lol

I told my steward on the way out just to give him a heads up and he just chuckled and said "That's a good one, I'll have to try that."

Love banging out of work. I always do it by email and will immediately put up the “out of office” auto response.

At work right now and hating it. I did skip like 3 of the last 4 Mondays not including today because I realized I’m celery now and if I just don’t go and don’t put in PTO time and nobody checks me I still get paid the same amount. So I’m gonna be doing that more often hopefully.

Feel bad when I call in and am not sick. Feel bad when I actually am sick and then don’t call out. WFH has totally broken my brain and ruined my ability to enjoy calling out sick.

Calling out def doesn’t hit the same when wfh but I don’t mind since I mostly like my job
I have so much vacation accrued/rolled over I could take over 2 months off and that doesn’t include sick time

WFH rules, I hardly ever call out anymore. If I'm really not feeling it, I'll just goof off for the first hour of my day and ease into it.

I have a hybrid schedule where I'm in office M-W and then home the rest of the week. I'll often decide in the middle of an office day that it's now a WFH day and just leave. Not a true call out but the psuedo-freedom felt just walking out of the office is pretty dope.
hard agree that full call outs are the best.
