More U.S. workers playing hooky. With excuses like "I'm too fat to get into my work pants," less information is probably more when calling in sick. [CNET News.com] Let me see if I understand this.  Most US workers get 10 days of vacation and a smattering of the manditory federal days off (most are lucky to get the big 5, which usually equates to a little more than 14 total days off.  The result is a work force that is grossly overworked, fatiqued and unproductive.  And yet managers are surprised when someone calls in sick with a lame excuse to take a day off when the sun is shining or the urge to play golf overcomes them?  This is not a bad thing people.  It certainly is not a firing offense.  I think I feel an opthomological problem coming on....I cannot see going to work tomorrow. 8:55:26 PM    comment []
