Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like “hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor”
I can’t imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?
I think I actually did once. But only because this particular employee was so unreliable that we had told her that we’d for her for calling off without a doctor’s excuse.
Sure enough, she called off, but she did bring in a doctor’s note… that just happened to look like she wrote it on the way to work.
I called the number on it later that day and I’m pretty sure she was the one that answered before hanging up on me.
A doctors note has to be in the doctors official letterhead…
Try getting a doctor’s note when you have ME or something.
Lol, please tell me it was actually written and not printed.
Edit : even better was it actually on a page of paper or was it on like a napkin or back of a receipt?
Valid and accepted. Do whatever you want but your pay will be docked for missing time…
It was so long ago, I don’t exactly remember what it looked like, but I do remember laughing at how little effort went into it.
I do appreciate the challenge of lowest effort calling out of work…
I once called out of work by sending a whisper to my boss in world of warcraft chat… His only response was “really??”
