Are you afraid to call in sick? Don’t be!
Don’t be a hero. Take a sick day! A lot of us feel guilty or afraid to call in sick - but if you’re feeling crummy – or even dazed from some cold medicine or the night before – you could be doing your boss and your coworkers a big favor by staying home. It turns out most of us don’t even use the allotted sick days we get. By skipping an unproductive or germ-spreading day at work, you could actually prevent some interoffice resentment.
Keep your excuse honest and brief and skip the drama. Most managers have heard every excuse in the book – and really only need to know if you’ll be there or not. An exaggeration or lie will only make matters worse.
