Stevo985 Posted July 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2015 Certain managers where I work who send people home at the slightest sign of illness. One guy has come in this morning and mentioned he had a "bit of a headache". He's just said "I think it's my glasses. Looking at my screen is making my head hurt" His boss all of a sudden says "sounds like a migraine. You should go home. Come in tomorrow if you feel better" And that's it. The guy is off home, pretty much against his will. What the ****? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2015 At least that is contagious. This guy just had a slight headache. He wasn't hamming it up to be fair to him or looking to get sent home, he just mentioned that it was his screen and his boss sent him home.

jjaacckk91 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 People who come to work when they're ill. Yep, my colleague was off the other day, and my boss was being an ass about it. "I haven't had a day off sick in 10 years" As if being off sick was a crime. Well, maybe you should have instead of coming in earlier this year(and probably countless times before) and giving everyone your bug and making other people ill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 People who come to work when they're ill. Do you know what? A million times this! People who turn up to work coughing and spluttering like they're some kind of hero do my head in.

villa4europe Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm fortunate that I can work from home I'm not being a martyr, if I've got man flu I'm staying at home, I'd expect everyone else in my office to do the same, that said if I didn't have that option and my place had the Bradford factor or an equivalent then I'd probably be coming in The only time I call in sick is if being Ill has messed with my ability to sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted July 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2015 I just drew blood on my thumb and broke a nail (stop sniggering), by missing the hole while chugging laundry into the dryer and jamming my thumb on the side of the machine. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
