      “Calling in” is a pretty common phrase where I live. You need to call in to your workplace, in order to take a day off work.

        Calling out or off is the terminology i always hear in the pnw but it varies.

        Its like people call round a bouts traffic circles in some places or when someone looks at a crash they’re a looky lou or a rubber neck or as i refer to them assholes creating traffic.

      I think it’s because of the idiom “calling in sick”. So he’s “calling in [sick] (to where?) to work”. Doesn’t make much sense to me either but I’m not a native speaker.
