Do you ever have someone else call you in sick to work or?

Question

do you always call in yourself?

Answer 1

It is considered very poor form to have someone else call in sick for you where I work. So I call in for my self, that way they get to grill me to see if I am really sick!

Answer 2

Always myself except for one time last year when I had a furious fever and couldn't hold the phone. I don't bother faking a voice if I'm not really sick either. All you have to say is that you have explosive diarrhea and people generally don't ask any more questions.

Answer 3

I always call myself. the only time i haven't is when i was in the hospital and my mom had to call in for me because i was way too sick to even talk on the phone

Answer 4

well, i had the nurse at the hospital call me in sick, but other than that time i've always called in myself.... which has been a total of 3 times in my entire career

Answer 5

If I do call in I would call myself my boss would need proof that I was near death before I had someone call in. She does not play that game.

Answer 6

I call in if I'm sick.. I usually dont miss work though

Answer 7

when i was in high school i had my teacher call my job and say i had strep throat but i call myself now. i'm an expert at calling out sick though i never do it anymore.
