That's all very polite and conciliatory of you but there is a very strong argument that Seriph was actually 100% correct. In over 26 years of work I've not had one day of sick. Why do people think taking time off fraudulently is an acceptable or honorable way to behave? If you disagree with what the people who tell you what to do are telling you what to do then you can confront them, organise resistance or leave. Stealing from them is difficult to support.
