Reply to comment by twohedwlf in TIFU by falling sick after telling my boss that people lie about being sick to skip work by shellykachua69

I'd say it's more toxic to skip out on work and have the rest of the team need to cover for you, of course if it doesnt make more work for other then who cares if you call in but it's a dick move when it does make more work for them which sounds like it does here.

Most places have that guy who calls in all the time and geuss what no one likes him from the top to the bottom of the business. People are often times toxic towards toxic people so look at the source not the reaction.

Toxic to skip out on work when your sick? Idk about that. I'd rather be at home when sick than risk contaminating food at my workplace and everybody else along with it.

Or maybe I misread something.

Its toxic to skip work when your not sick while pretending to be sick it's not that vague.

If your actually sick then ya call in but when your not you shouldnt.

yup, it is toxic, that the employer is so cheap as to put workers in that position

Oh definitely, but end of the day it's your job and still shitty of you if you skip work while knowing it will make it harder for others when your not really sick.
