Off work ill

[Guest2]

There are a number of people where I currently work and previous work places that seem to be constantly off work sick.

In the past 6 of years I think I have had 1 day off and this was a 'sickie' for Summer olympics when I went to London.

Do you think this is down to poor immune systems, because people are more prone to illness or just pulling sickies?

There's a guy off at the moment due a serious problem (understandable he's off) but some just have the odd day every couple of weeks and are then usually in and fine the rest of the week.

It really grinds my gears, especially when other people have to take on their workload

I agree with this. The people with the worst diet always seem to be ill.

I was going to put this too!

The people off are generally the ones that are either overweight or have a diet of stella, pot noodles and greggs! (I think I would be off ill once a week if all I ate was that)

Personally I think there should be no sick pay for anyone - My betting would be that there are far less people off sick!
