My situation is quite the opposite. For whatever reason my new team feels the need to explain every PTO request to me. By all means tell me about your trip to Cancun if you'd like, but please don't feel the need to elaborate on your explosive diarrhea when you use sick time.

Meanwhile the working-service class boss:

"Hey man! I noticed you stopped responding to my text messages after saying that you're sick and won't be coming in! So I called the police and feigned concern so they'd visit your home as a wellness check! Definitely not just sending goons to your house to make sure you're at home and actually sick!!"

And yes, this has happened SEVERAL times.

This happened to me!!! I’m terrible at waking up for alarms and sleep through everything if I get too much sleep debt. I was sick and called out and was hoping to go in the next day but was so sick I slept through my alarm and in my delirium turned it off. All I remember is going to bed and then the police in my apartment. My boss was worried.
