My company offers 3 days of unjustified sick leave for things like colds or minor health issues that don't really require seeing a doctor.

And sure enough, that guy - always that guy - got sick on Monday, then took a day off on Thursday, and now he's sick again on Friday. Strangely, his company car reports being at a ski resort 200 miles away.

Because you know, when you're bedridden, at least you should have a nice view out the window...

I maintain millions of dollars worth of equipment and company data, yet you don’t trust me when I say I’m sick!?

I had a violent gastro thing, vomiting and diarrhoea for two days, I could barely walk. When I called in on the third day, the boss demanded a doctor’s certificate. On being told that I couldn’t safely drive to the doctor, he asked “How will I know that you’re really sick?”. I sent him a photo of the contents of the toilet. He didn’t ask again, and never mentioned it again.
