Agreed. And on the flip side of that, if your absence is going to cripple your coworker, and you know you’re going to be taking a “sick” day, just take a god damn vacation day so we can plan for your absence.
My coworker will “call in sick” on the Friday before her birthday weekend, when it’s -25 degrees, or the Friday after thanksgiving and she’ll call in 15 minutes before we start working.
I wouldn’t otherwise care but when she is not here, I have to handle her clients and it just means I have double the workload or I have to reschedule some of my clients/calls so I can take care of hers.
Just let me know beforehand so I can plan ahead and not find out an hour before work.
