Yea we can call out 8x before getting fired. It doesn’t matter the reason. I still have people calling in leaving messages with exaggerated symptoms in their voice and it’s like… Bruh I don’t give a shit just don’t do it 7 more times so I don’t have to fire you.
Just curious, is it 8x for the entire length someone is working there, or just 8x per year or something? Cause it’d seem kinda crazy to fire someone after 8 years for calling in once a year lol. Now that I think about it this is probably a stupid question
Exactly. I just text my office manager that I’m sick and will see them in a couple days, and they take care of the rest. Fuck companies that make you get a notarized letter from the CDC or whatever bullshit.
Pro tip even just cracking 100 isn’t really a fever, do something like 101.2 that’s a fever, but not high enough to seek medical attention just yet, so there’s no having to go to the hospital. A fever of 103 is something you need to checked out urgently to immediately
It depends on the person. One of my kids goes to 104 every time she gets a fever. It scared the crap out of me the first time but now I know to expect it.
I’m on the other end. I’m usually between 95 and 97. 101 = I need immediate attention and it’s hard to get medical professionals to take me seriously. They ignore me till someone makes a scene and then freak out once they measure my blood pressure. C’est la vie 🤷♂️
Pro tip, your hot water tap probably gets to like 120, you can mix it with cold to get 100-103 pretty easily.
Pro tip: any company that requires you to prove that you are “sick” in order to get a day off is a shitty company. Find another job.

rolls off after a year
What I’m wondering is if being out sick for 2 or more days takes up your other call outs, or if it counts as one.
consecutive days count as 1

Nah, better just send a pic with 120°
Reply would be: ”You dead yet?”
Just don’t reply till the next work day.

That is absolutely true, but for guidelines sake, that’s what we’re going for here
