Sick permies

[wobbegong]

The wife's employer fires people who have been off work more than a couple of times a year so permies could be afraid of such practices.

One young lady here was "sick" 30 days last year, and she only joined end of Jan 2006! She's apparently already had 8 days off this year, so obviously going for a new record (or the boot).

Once worked with a permie whose wife died - he was signewd off sick by his doctor for 6 months. Because of his length of service, he got 6 months full pay (then would have been 6 months half pay). co-incidence?
