3. Minor Injuries
Anytime you suffer from some sort of injury, it gives you a valid excuse to call in sick. However, it’s when you have ridiculous minor injuries that’s when you shouldn’t call in sick. There have been times when employees have called in to say that can’t come to work because they burnt their fingers while toasting their bread or because an ant bit him or even that she stepped on a rat trap. All these may be legit, but none of them causes for missing work. And if you actually stay home after such an incident, be prepared to be jeered the next time you go back to work.
