That cut was deep, Velo.
In the interest of full disclosure, the new and improved Velo (read that as fatter) has learned this first hand. The winter blubber for warmth isn't coming off as easily this year.
That cut was deep, Velo.
We had a guy who called in sick for work years ago. When his manager asked him what was wrong he said it was a vision problem; he couldn't see coming to work on such a beautiful day. The manager laughed so hard he let him slide.
I said the same thing for a long time until one time I got an ******* judge and it was apparent in the first 5 minutes that we never had a chance. My supervisor started an answer to a question with "I believe..." and the judge snapped at him and said that he didn't want to hear what he believed, he wanted to hear what he knew and then didn't let him answer at all. Next he turned to the former employee and asked why she had missed so much work with no leave available. She gave him a sob story about her terrible periods and how she had to miss work. He proceeded to go through the calendar of dates she had to miss and ask if this was her period; if that was her period, etc. She would respond,"It could have been; Maybe; etc." so he would mark it excused. If that wasn't bad enough, they had it logged so she had a period about every other week for eight months straight. I really wanted walk out on that one right after it started, but you never know what they will do to you on the next one.
Was she calling in sick for a painful period every time?
that second story sounds an awful lot like the excuses I've thought about giving should I ever get pulled over. Does the officer really want to verify your explosive diarrhea or will they let it heh, slide?
I mean, if she had endometriosis or something like that then maybe yeah she probably wasn't being totes honest but knew no man was going to call her out on it.
No, she just called in sick. If she would have called in sick for the same condition again and again we would have designated her for Family Medical Leave and given her the forms for her doctor to fill out. She just called in sick or didn't call in at all. Even if we would have designated her for FMLA, she would have more than blown through all of her sick time and the unpaid FMLA time as well and still had enough uncovered time to be shown the door.
She was a piece of work. After the hearing she and her friends she brought to the hearing shouted obscenities at us across the parking lot.
Second person I fired at this job was a no-call/no-show. Been with the company for 10 years and was a manager at one point. Asked him why he didn't return any of our phone calls and his response was "it's never been a big deal before."
******* Hawaii, man.
I would think as an attractive female you could come up with at least 100 different ways to get out of a ticket before using "explosive diarrhea".

I mean, haven't you ever thought about that? Like how dedicated is the officer to getting that ticket?

No, but they're naturally graceful while running.....
If I were him I might just stand there until you let loose in your pants to prove it. Then maybe I'd let you off with a warning.
Do you just have "sick time" or do you have PTO?
Do you care what an employees reason is for taking PTO?
I can understand getting ticked about the no show/no call though. I'm just curious if you expect people to make up a reason for taking PTO if they have it available. If I were a manager I personally wouldn't care as long as they called it in, usually get their **** done, and they didn't **** over any one else with their absence.
And this is why I always ask what's wrong when they call in (though I manage to fake it to where it sounds like I actually care).

This is why I always ask. Just because they have sick time now, doesn't they always will. You figure these things out before they become a problem. And by acting like I care, most of the time it builds a relationship with the employee, which is benefitial in all aspects later on.

Opening for dog talk. Sasha (the late great Basenji) had a graceful running gait like a thoroughbred horse. I would sprint a block with her just to watch her gait. Her son, Simba, on the other hand had the coordination and look of Goofy when he ran. Simba would have made a corgi look look like a sprinter and hurdler.
I just hate having to make something up when I really just want to sleep in. Or if I ate too much mexican or drank too much the night before, I really don't want to be THAT honest and tell them I will be in the bathroom most of the day.
I can understand wanting to keep track of the issue though. If it was someone who rarely calls in, I would probably just tell them I don't care what they are doing, just take it.
