Predicting sickness seven days in advance is something humankind is not capable of, and the sick leaves at a corporation are meant for exactly that! On receiving an affirmative reply, the boss said: “To take sick leave or casual leave, you need to inform at least 7 days prior.” Here is how the internet reacted: “You're not supposed to know 7 days in advance when your health fails, you're supposed to take a week to spread your illness to everybody at work because sharing is caring,” a user said. One user said the manager would even have a problem if you apply for leave a week in advance and said, “'I'm letting you know per policy I'm going to be sick in 7 days.' “Send an email every day: 'This is to inform you that I may get sick seven days from now and may thus need to use sick time,' See how long it takes,” a user said. “Malicious compliance time.every Monday morning submit a preemptive sick leave notice, then cancel it the following Monday when you submit a new one,” another suggested.
