Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like “hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor”

I can’t imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?

    I think I actually did once. But only because this particular employee was so unreliable that we had told her that we’d for her for calling off without a doctor’s excuse.

    Sure enough, she called off, but she did bring in a doctor’s note… that just happened to look like she wrote it on the way to work.

    I called the number on it later that day and I’m pretty sure she was the one that answered before hanging up on me.

      Lol, please tell me it was actually written and not printed.

      Edit : even better was it actually on a page of paper or was it on like a napkin or back of a receipt?

          Valid and accepted. Do whatever you want but your pay will be docked for missing time…

        It was so long ago, I don’t exactly remember what it looked like, but I do remember laughing at how little effort went into it.

          I do appreciate the challenge of lowest effort calling out of work…

          I once called out of work by sending a whisper to my boss in world of warcraft chat… His only response was “really??”
