Have You Ever Called in Sick to Work when You weren't?

Contributor: RonLee RonLee
I'm lucky I don't have to try and put something over on my boss, the truth works better. My current employer has the best vacation time off and second best sick time off of all of my previous employers. As well, I have the best supervisor in the place. If I would need to leave early, often he would say just go, don't put in the paperwork to use vacation hours. However, last friday I was going to leave at lunch and make it a three and a half day weekend. We had a production problem and he didn't have to ask me, I stayed until we got it fixed at about ten o'clock that night. Yes I will be paid extra for that time but my boss knows IF he needs me, that I'm there for him.

I took a poll and the result was 63% of Americans have done this. I wanted to see if Eden matched that.

EDIT: ... more
did it.
more than ten times.
didn't get caught.
now that i am my own boss...i still do it.
ha!
everyone needs a day now and then. those who don't take these days are crazy. sometimes i'd much rather go for a bike ride than make money. call me nuts.

I have but apologized to my boss the next day, I do have to admit he was very understanding given the circumstances.
