At a staff meeting the other day, we were informed that a recent examination of leave in the public service determined that there is a serious problem: 26% of sick days are Mondays.
Clear statistical evidence of a epidemic of slacking, hungover public servants abusing the system.
I wish I was joking.
Thankfully Dilbert has this one covered for me.
Wow. As an epidemiologist, I can confirm an association, but not necessarily causal in nature. The only thing I can confirm with 100% certainty is that I wish I had one of those weekends for which I would require that kind of rest and recovery.
ReplyDeleteNo doubts. When I call in sick on a Monday it's because my kid has spent the weekend coughing on me and I've finally succumbed to the disease. Ooooh ya, I know how to party and malinger.
