When you are sick (really sick) take your bereavement leave, guilt will always overcome any pay issues you boss might have when you try and claim 5 days bereavement. Problem solved. and mondays, just about the best day in the week when you're not at work Sick days in general should never be used when you really are sick - why waste 5 (5 for most people) perfectly good payed days of ‘leave’ its our gift as employee’s to take this leave and abuse it!

I can't bear the faux sniffle / cough / bleariness. If you you are ill just say your bloody well ill. Sounding like some hammy actor in a school production of Oliver Twist won't make it any more believable!

All these people make me sick! Wake up idoits! You've been on vacation all year. Maybe in your next life you can have a job like Diane Sawyer... she's always on vacation!

Monday can be fun if you love what you do and are good at what you do, but if you hate your job and are simply hoping for a quick and painless death to end your occupational suffering, than I can totally empathize with someone who calls in sick on Monday. Perhaps if you can find some way to make your employees enjoy their jobs more, you'll have more Monday Champions and fewer sick employees.
