My company offers 3 days of unjustified sick leave for things like colds or minor health issues that don’t really require seeing a doctor.

And sure enough, that guy - always that guy - got sick on Monday, then took a day off on Thursday, and now he’s sick again on Friday. Strangely, his company car reports being at a ski resort 200 miles away.

Because you know, when you’re bedridden, at least you should have a nice view out the window…

    40% of sick days are taken on 30% of the days of the week. (Or 40% of work days)

    (If yours was a joke, I missed it, it’s too early right now and I imagine some managers I know would tout that as an important statistic. )

      The joke is 40% of the work days account for 40% of the sick days meaning everything is fine. But some people just see the 40% number and assume people are gaming the system when it’s actually all perfectly statistically normal with no games
