8 of 11 board members of Vandelay Industries are out of commission? Who will make the critical decisions concerning latex and importing/exporting? :laugh:

You are in an enviable position my friend. Milk it for all it's worth.

Thats a good attitude if you want to be first in line to be replaced.


So you'd fire him for phoning in sick

Protect your ass, you could be layed off for this. If I were your boss, you'd be getting fired via text message right about.... now!

And fire him for not phoning in sick :confused:

nope.

That's the problem with companies today.

Call in sick? You're a piece of garbage. I've literally had a boss tell me to my face that I was unreliable because I was coughing up blood and the doctor gave me a note to stay at home.

Don't call in sick? You're a piece of crap because you might spread the disease around the office.

Solution? Win the lottery and have orgies with super models.

Solution? Take care of your body, get your flu shots, and stop fvcking getting sick.
