Calling in sick regularly is often a sign of some other problem. Any competent manager will encourage an employee to either deal with that problem or arrange for help. In a dystopia, the manager will indeed ignore that problem and 'encourage' the worker to come to work. I believe this style of management can be replaced by an AI quite readily, and I believe this has already happened by rather trivial software (think the fake gig-workers for uber, lyft etc. Don't come in today? Your rating will drop tomorrow, along with your wage).
