Yeah ... when I had my other jobs, I'd certainly rather be sick on a work day! Now it's more work to be sick than to show up and breathe on the people who got me sick.
Breathe on them, pay back! πŸ™‚

Sick days are free holidays that you don't need to pre-book, always take them 2 or 3 at a time, never apologise if your boss finds you in the pub, tell them it was purely medicinal. Always pretend you are sick on mondays/tuesdays or thursdays/fridays, this way you maximise your time away from work utilising the weekend. Always get trashed the night before returning to work, blame your general untidyness on the 'illness'.

I agree it is an arrogant assumption. It works the same way where I work. I am very rarely sick and only have taken days off when I have been genuinely sick. Over the past few years I have taken less than 10 days off. Last day off sick was about 6 months ago.

Although I am a firm believer that one should never lie about their health.

A fine attitude to work, comrade.

I wish there were a few more people like you where I work. There's always a constant epidemic of Monday-itis around payday and certain people seem to think they can pick what time they start and finish. My boss is too kind for his own good. 😞

Actually, I threaten to breathe on them if they misbehave. πŸ˜€ Usually I just threaten to sing. Nice to have an added weapon in my aresenal sometimes though. Variety is good. πŸ˜‰
