“You're not supposed to know 7 days in advance when your health fails, you're supposed to take a week to spread your illness to everybody at work because sharing is caring,” a user said.
“That... that isn't how getting sick works... that's not even how sick leave works...” another added.
One user said the manager would even have a problem if you apply for leave a week in advance and said,“'I'm letting you know per policy I'm going to be sick in 7 days.' 'You're lying. No one knows they will be sick in 7 days. You better be here.'”
