The Shoutbox
I assume the main problem is an employer not being able to tell whether or not someone is sick, or just "calling in sick."

All the p.c. / h.r. stuff aside, you are expected to come work.

No one will ever tell you that, but that's why I'm here.

It's a good litmus test for the new employee though. If they keep their job, it means they like you.
Very screwed up. So everyone gets to suffer illness because 1 person isn't able to take 2 days off. Ridiculous.

All depends what’s in your friend’s employment agreement.

If worried, produce a doctor's note. It is winter now...
Unless, it's the kind of place that's uderstaffed so they don't care if everyone's working sick as dogs.

No. If you infect your colleagues you bring the whole place down.
