The Sick Note
You wake up flattened. Not ill, just done. You text work that you've got a stomach bug. It's believed instantly. The cost lands on one colleague, who cancels her afternoon and covers your calls. If you'd told the truth, the answer would probably have been to come in anyway.
Do you send the text?
Then ask
- Would you say the real reason if she asked you directly the next day?
- Whose rule are you breaking here, the company's or hers?
- When did someone else's day off cost you yours?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
