In my experience "call out" was more common for a shift-style job at a place with many low-level, younger employees. Think fast-food, retail, etc. Maybe had to do with the perception that another employee is just "slotted in" to replace the shift? Regardless, these same people are now getting older and the term has spread to other types of jobs...
