Just got a really good job where they don’t have sick days but instead you can just call out sick whenever “on the honor system.” I want to take advantage of this but also don’t want to do it in a way that’s excessive or draws attention. So how many times would you say you call out sick per year/what seems like a believable amount of times to get sick?


My job is pretty independent and as long as I get my work done nobody cares too much, I call in sick maybe 6 times a year, but I try to time it right after a big deadline. Send my boss something amazing, and then I take a day off the next week
