Well said, Spotted One, EB1 and PP... in a just world nurses and teachers would be the highest paid and most respected of professions... (closely followed by those who don the navy blue...
)Likewise, I've been outspoken publicly on this 'soldier on' cr@pola. And the victimisation of those who take time off to recover from illness, any illness.

I work public sector health.
I can attest that calling in sick is unreasonably strict, even for admin officers.
I heard a stat that people coming to work whilst sick actually cost more for the business in the long term than they do just by taking their allotted sick leave.
The shame in it, is that they ask far too many questions surrounding it, and then even put action plans into place to try and understand why you are taking sick leave (being sick isnt a valid excuse apparently).
The real shame in it, is that some people who get the treatment surrounding sick leave actually have a reason behind it, and it can be family illness (think the Big C) and they still get unreasonably questioned surrounding sick leave or carers leave.
Others who take one sick day in a blue moon are believed to be pulling a sickie.
Its a load of crap, and the onus is on the manager to explain his sick leave and state of play, not on the staff member to "get well".
