doing HR stuff in an email so it can be forwarded on like that = big fail.

Silly Boy! But I understand he didn’t get sacked? he held his hands up and admitted defeat but he didn’t get paid for the sick day.

It’s good to know that you are a reformed Pigeon, Lone Pigeon, but we need input from our Antipodean posters on this one.

Will he be sacked or promoted?

Everyone knows the rules of throwing a sickie.

Keep ya head down. Don’t answer the phone. Don’t go outside. Don’t do anything. If you throw a sickie you have to watch Jeremy Kyle and auction programmes which actually make you suffer like you are sick.

That’s why if i’m trashed from the night before I always go into work regardless, even if I’ve been awake all night and my eyes are like saucers, not that I have been like that for at least a year and a half now, chances are you’ll get sent home and then you can do whatever you like!
