Sometimes you really need to take a sick day, and sometimes you really want to take a sick day. If you fall into the latter category and decide to go for that time-off request, take heed from a new survey...
In the just-released results from HarrisPoll on behalf of CareerBuilder, employers shared suspect excuses they've heard for why employees asked to take sick days. Ten of the shadiest? Oh, just wait:
1. Employee just put a casserole in the oven.
2. Employee's plastic surgery for enhancement purposes needed some "tweaking" to get it just right.
3. Employee was sitting in the bathroom and her feet and legs fell asleep. When she stood up, she fell and broke her ankle.
4. Employee had been at the casino all weekend and still had money left to play with on Monday morning.
5. Employee woke up in a good mood and didn't want to ruin it.
6. Employee had a "lucky night" and didn't know where he was.
7. Employee got stuck in the blood pressure machine at the grocery store and couldn't get out.
8. Employee had a gall stone they wanted to heal holistically.
9. Employee caught their uniform on fire by putting it in the microwave to dry.
10. Employee accidentally got on a plane.
Twenty-four percent of employers also said they've caught a worker faking sick via social media. A word to the wise: If you claim you're sick, then head out of town, you should probably not Instagram your road trip.
