“I work in a factory. We call a automated voicemail system and leave a message which is then translated into an email to our team lead. I've literally never even talked to someone when calling out, and can take my PTO and vacation whenever I want and for whatever reason I want, including scheduled in advance. I'll give you one guess as to whether our shop is unionized or not.” said u/Krynn71.
“Don't be so formal, just ‘being sick’” said u/Sarius2009.
“Be concise ‘Sickness.’” said u/alittlebitdrunk.
“'As per my previous email...' Translation: Can't you read, you dumb fuck?!?” said u/remotetissuepaper.
“This. ‘Per my previous email, this sick time is being taken for illness.'” said u/lavenderbleudilly.
“Sickness, sir” said u/AlarisMystique.
OP updates Reddit with their boss' reply
Taking the advice of many redditors, OP replied to their boss' demand to know the purpose of the sick time with a simple “for being sick." Needless to say, the boss was not satisfied with this answer. In their update, OP mentioned that they lived in New York.
