Please show up for work! People have to cover for you when you’re not here.. so you’re having a hard week/month/year? Can’t take the stress? Calling in sick constantly so you don’t have to come in? Then get another job..Some of us are covering two or three jobs here and its stressful enough as it is! And don’t come in and tell me how sick you were/are…we know you’re not! We are not stupid! I’m so tired of hearing she/he must be really sick they been off a lot, poor poor person (insert name here) I want to scream! We know you have been looking for another job! Come in or get lost! —V

Maybe you should mind ya bidness, suckhole.
Now this is a bitch I can get on board with…
I’m living the same nightmare at my workplace…Sick calls are off the map, and the rest of us are burning out from overtime. It costs taxpayers a mint to pay for both the sick person’s day off, as well as double time to the person covering the shift. I realize people do get sick, but some abuse sick time, short term disability benefits, etc. I would have to be in seriously bad shape before I would abandon my fellow nurses, leaving them to crash & burn. If you are sick, by all means, stay home. If you decide to take ‘stress leave’ because you want a few weeks off to relax, get a conscience. It’s a lazy, selfish thing to do.
Don’t the managers track this stuff, if your allowed so many sick days then really too bad, but would it not be upto those in charge to do something about it if it’s being abused.
It’s also the time of year. I am off sick today while I am reading this but it’s pretty rare that I call in. Where I work, for the past month there’s been a bug going around, seems everyone is taking a couple days off here and there. I don’t see it as a problem. But we do have two or three people who take like three days every month. Pretty annoying.
I wonder who they’ll use as a reference when they’re job hunting? Prospective employers tend to ask current employers about attendance.
What sucks is when you have support staff and they call in sick over and over and you have no one to cover them so you have to do their job and your own… but you can’t do your own job until their jobs are done because they’re more front-line than you are.
So you get backed up with your own work, meanwhile their work gets done, and the work that doesn’t get done isn’t anything they can help you with when they get back.
Luckily, my support staff didn’t abuse their sick time, but it still sucked when they were sick. Especially when one was sick for a week.
lucky to have a job. wish i had one.
Pretty slim pickings since NBC canceled your show, huh wog?

You should see a doctor. “Forgetting” to do something that is involuntary could be a sign of a deeper medical problem.
Do you have health care coverage at your job as a cumdumpster?
PisP
PK, I know what you mean about support staff. This is an issue in my workplace as well. The support staff are great… So great that when they aren’t there, whoaaa Nellie, it is quite the shit show. It’s hard enough to fulfill our front line duties, but it’s complete chaos when we throw clerical duties into the mix.
I’m response to the comments about managers monitoring sick time, firing staff who abuse it, etc…one word: Union. It is damn near impossible to let someone go without the union being all up their ass. You, literally, would have to commit intentional, premeditated murder to get fired in my institution.
This is a repeat bitch- WTF?!
paul if my arm wasnt so sore i would probably bite on that bitch. lucky 4 me huh.
But we all want to know, wog. Does your mawashi still fit?
i’m quite sure you’re not this kind of nurse, miss hezz http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/al…
Nope! I’m more this kind of nurse, Painey: http://www.me-mo.co.uk/images/thumb_Cool_N…
mawashi – what kind of word is that now. i think u guys make up most of this crap. i been around a few years and never heard tell of this. educate me ok. dare i ask.
ah yes, my favourite kind of nurse
My mom works in healthcare as well, and she told me she recently got a letter congratulating her on how little sick days she uses. She also said it takes like two years for someone to get fired for abusing sick days. Woooo!
Nurse, you’re my kind of nurse. Makes me want to get sick to meet you. LOL.
I can’t remember the last time I used a sick day. Wait, that’s right 1988 when I had a V done.
What’s a sick day?
This is a really bad month though, it seems everyone i know is sick including me
You’re right about that, Brandon. I got hit with the flu two weeks ago…and that was in spite of my flu shot. Winter, begone!
I agree with OP, a fundamental requirement of employment is showing up.
You don’t have to get sick, Tim.., we just need a Sunday summit when I’m not working 🙂
