certainly not a crock

Mach2male…..
The problem here is that someone has had the temerity to question those in the office and their behaviour and some here do not like that for reasons that we can only surmise.

Certainly there are those who work irresponsibly when they are sick and risk infecting other crew in the workplace. However, those managers who look at sick leave as a liability or a simple commodity to reduce rather than a human condition that needs to be managed and understood intimidate the majority.

Being sick leave is not a crock as some put it, but part of life and is managed through sick leave.

We have situations where managers will ring crew at home who have nothing more than the flu. I’m sure that most people who when at home with a blocked nose, headache and generally feeling lousy do not need a call from the office. If the employee has suffered a traumatic accident or situation I’m sure a well timed call offering any help would be appreciated but not for a mundane but annoying case of the flu or similar.

Those who work in the office obviously do not see it that way…
