Smooth Operator 10 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just done an interesting piece of work showing that: 75% of 1 day sick absenses took place on a Monday or a Friday 71% of 2 day sick absenses began on a Thursday 68% of 3 day sick absenses began on a Wednesday Long weekend syndrome is alive and well in the DWP! And as an aside, 100% of Wacky's sick leave was proven bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as an aside, 100% of Wacky's sick leave was proven bullshit. In the defence of DWP staff, Monday and Friday would include 1 day, 2 day, 3 day and/or 4 day absences though. Added to that chances are statistically higher that you will fall ill between Friday and Monday than between Tuesday and Thursday (4/7 as opposed to 3/7). Course they're all on the skive though.

Meenzer 15873 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Monday was my first day off work sick since I started this job about 18 months ago. Did me the world of good, too. I must do it more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I've become a right cynical bastard at times when it comes to work absences. As at times I have the joy of dealing with our lovely absence database, all skivers the lot of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7335 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 NHS Mental Health Workers must have the highest rate of sick days than anyone. Theres a couple of blokes i work with who rarely go a fortnight without a sick day. And thats no exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to start using his holiday in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
