Honestly? I stay home and might check email when I'm bored but don't do any real work, but I don't usually file sick days either because the bureaucracy is a pain (seriously, I'm already sick, I can't deal with that added stress and I'm not going to the doctor just to spread my viruses and be told to go back home and rest). And as long as we're talking about 2 or 3 days, nobody really seems to care.
- stkdump 4y agoSo you are on sick leave without letting your boss know. I guess that works, but it puts the 'bimodal' comment in a different light.
- Aeolun 4y agoEh, if your boss doesn’t notice that you’re gone for a few days that’s probably on the boss.
- atq2119 4y agoI've always had managers who care more about what I deliver than when and where my butt is in a chair. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm good enough that it works out that way.
- tasuki 4y agoHave you considered just informally notifying them that you're out because sick? I mean, not doing that is fine too if you can deliver, but informing them might build more trust.
- Aeolun 4y agoNo, I mean, that’s perfectly acceptable. If your boss cares only that you deliver, and doesn’t notice/care that you are gone for a few days due to sickness, that’s still not on you.
