FinanceHow to Call In Sick Without Losing Your Job
It’s not easy when you get sick, because many bosses are unforgiving and don’t care. They just want the job done. And with the economy the way it is, people are afraid to call in sick even if they are deathly ill. They fear that if they call in sick, they won’t have a job.
The bottom line is that without your health, what do you have? Call in sick if you need to. Don’t feel bad. If you are worried that your boss will think you are faking, here’s what to do.
Speak with a boss or supervisor on the phone as early in the day as possible. That way they have time to deal with it and get another person to help.
Make sure to apologize.
Keep the call short and short on details. Your manager doesn’t want to know how much snot is pouring out of you.
No fake coughs. Don’t oversell it.
Realize that the more often you’re absent on Mondays and Fridays, the more suspicious it looks.
