My honesty with sick days has been drastically different based on my loyalty to the job. Before I switched industries and was working downtown, I was consistently late for work and took sick days all the time. Granted, I was contracted, so I wasn't paid for those days.
Now I value that my employers think me an honest, reliable employee. It takes me being particularly sick to not come in.
What really pisses me off though is, as a private 1-on-1 teacher, when my students come in sick. Screw you, go home. No lesson this week, I don't want your germs. I think I may actually make that a policy.
