My co-worker just texted in sick. On top of that he texted the part-time employee instead of myself or our manager. Is it really that difficult to call in or at least leave the message on the voicemail saying your're sick? I know why he did it, because he's full of crapola and not sick!
Has anyone texted in sick? Had a co-worker text in sick?

Re: Texting in sick?
I love my puppy ... and my husband, I swear!
It depends on your job!
Yes, I've texted in sick.
I used to try and call my boss, but he never answered the phone and we don't have voicemail at my work and he doesn't check his cell phone messages either...so YES I've texted in sick - it's the only way he will respond to!!!
True. I could totally do that at my old job with my supervisor but I still usually called. I was just thinking about my job now.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
I totally plan on texting in sick to my client very soon.
In fact, I craft exactly what I am going to say while I'm driving in each morning.
Damn this new client for making me come in everyday.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
Would I do it in my current sitch? No. My boss would have a cow. Though she does allow you to email in sick, which I think makes more sense. No one is there at 7 a.m. to answer your sick call, anyway. And they could more likely miss a vmail instead of an email.
It's 2010 though. People have started doing it and will keep doing it. Get ready for a lottt of social/profesh. faux-pas from the past becoming suuuuper common place in the future (as I'm sure you've already experienced).
We're simply decomposing as a society. Mwahahha
"No one is there at 7 a.m. to answer your sick call, anyway. And they could more likely miss a vmail instead of an email."
exactly. at my old job, they had a rule that you had to talk to someone in person AND call in at least an hour before you were due in. those two do NOT mesh if you're an early arriver!
