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.
Calling “into” work? Did you mean to say “calling off work”?
“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.
