Where I work, many people make $11/hr and call in sick all the time. They have to have a doctors note if they want to get paid for it, but the points against their attendance is the same, so many people choose to not get paid. If people can afford it on 11/hr, it must not be a huge burden.
Some people plan in advance or an opportunity falls in their lap like going to the Superbowl or a game, and then they call in sick... The day after the Superbowl a local radio station had a contest.. who had the funniest excuse to not go to work? Some guy actually stole an "In memory of" postcard from a viewing and told his boss it was his dead relative. Another guy put a blow torch on his @ss and went to the ER and got an excuse. He even dropped his pants for his boss to see...
People are f'ed up.
