I've never had a boss EVER that pressed me for information on why I took off sick. That's completely inappropriate for them to ask.
Every single employer I had until I was past 30 pressed for reasons when I called in sick. Some required doctor's notes. Granted, I'm middle aged and lived in a shitty conservative town where employers constantly broke the law and violated employee rights.
Screw those employers. Whenever they send one of their employees in to me to get a note, I give them way more off than they’d normally take.
You got a cold? The first 5 days suck the most and you’re most contagious during those days, so have 5 days off work. Oh, you only wanted today off and were considering going back tomorrow if you were feeling better? Sucks for your boss, I guess. My medical opinion is based on the disease, not your employee’s self-assessment.
Doctors being bros.
