It has been reported that last Monday 5th of January set a new record for the amount of people not attending work due to illness. An estimated 2.4 Million employees were off sick on the first big day back at work after the Christmas break.
Although a percentage of these would have been genuine illness, as both the flu bug and NORA virus have been sweeping the nation the cynic in my feels that many people just used this as an excuse for an extra days holiday. The freezing temperatures were an added temptation for people who just didn’t fancy a slog to work in the cold.
With the economic climate in its current state I wonder why anyone would risk throwing a sickie? Sure don’t go in if you are really ill but for heaven sake make some effort to show willing it might just save you from getting the chop!
