HA!!!!
Sounds like a man who hasn't had the misfortune of having less than stellar employees. I had one guy that used each and every sick day as a vacation day. My boss came to me and said "Hey, I went to the mall on my day off and I saw Bob there shopping with his wife. But you said he was out sick!!! What's up with that?!?!" As if it was my fault that the employee called in and lied to me.
I measure each employee and make rulings accordingly. I have one employee who has taken 1 sick day in the last three years, so damn, if she calls in sick I know for damn sure that she must be on deaths door. On the other hand I have one guy that is absent every second day, so I have gone to Staff Relations in HR and have made a letter demanding that he get a doctors note whenever he calls in sick.
Trust isn't given just because someone can fill out a resume and sweet talk an interview (I didn't hire the two losers noted above... ). Trust is earned.
Edit: I should read a whole thread first before replying. Sorry FP.
