Do you 'call out' or 'call in' sick to work?

[envirogator]

When I've been sick I've always 'called in' sick to work. I had never heard the 'call out' term until moving to NJ. I hear both now so...do you call in or call out?

[Hottub]

Neither. I man up, take an aspirin and get my ass in to work.

[Dougie Brootal]

why would you call and tell your work youre sick?!?! wont they notice when you come in that day?:huh:

[Bossanova]

I just called out today

[Neckbeard]

You call in to call out.

[Furtherman]

Call out.

I hide behind my blackberry and send a message..................i'm a baby.

I hide behind my blackberry and send a message..................i'm a baby.

same here... e-mail or blackberry. this way it's documented and my whole group gets it. i've seen where people called in and spoke to someone who never relayed the message...

[Team_Ramrod]

I've never heard 'call out' sick. It's always been 'call in'.

You 'call in' to your work to notify them that you will not be there that day.

I 'call out' to my wife to let her know I'm working late so I can stay and munch on the secretary's box. Actually I don't, I just used that as an example.

[Marc with a c]

[djjd]

[nassue]

[BoondockSaint]

I call and say "It's Lent. I'll be in on Sunday."

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I call out sick

[PapaBear]

In.

[earthbrown]

I do not, when people call in they mess my day up, and I dont like returning the favor.

I really hate the fucktards who take "p-l" days just to use them, cause the fucked up unions make it ok to simply call in and say, "I am taking a p-l day" and the only requirement is unenforceable, you are suppose to be home during work hours.

i usually call in and say i have a temp of 93 degrees and a tanning index of 8.5

[Devo37]

'call out', as in calling to say you'll be out that day.

[keithy_19]

I call on. On the good people of my work to be able to progress through the day without me.

Unfortunately, due to rather serious medical stuff I've had to call out a lot lately. One of my managers was a real bitch to me. It's not my fault I have a lesion on my spinal cord that makes me hurt as if I'm being burned. But I understand that she has a business to run.

[DonInNC]

used to call in, but I call out anymore.

Neither.

That's why I call both my manager AND an assistant manager; I've got their office numbers programmed into my cell phone.

Sometimes, I also call one of my teammates as a backup in case I get an out-of-office message on the manager/assistant manager's voicemail.

And, depending on the day, I'll say both "call out" and "call in" ...

[EliSnow]

I work "from home" when sick, although I would call it "calling in."

[A.J.]

I never take sick days.

[Marc with a c]

When I've been sick I've always 'called in' sick to work. I had never heard the 'call out' term until moving to NJ. I hear both now so...do you call in or call out?

jusy another example how stupid new jersey is.

[TheMojoPin]

I never take sick days.

What kind of federal employee are you?!? SPY!!! SPY!!! ALARM!!!

[A.J.]

What kind of federal employee are you?!? SPY!!! SPY!!! ALARM!!!

I'm not a federal employee....I'm a contractor. The lowest of the low.

[Kris10]

I go to work, thats where I got sick anyway. Man up, Envirogator.

[joethebartender]

I call in.

If they ask what's wrong; you tell them you have anal glaucoma. When they ask what it is tell them you can't see your ass coming in to work today.

-out of maxim jokes...(I take no credit or fault)

[patsopinion]

call in

and its called soda or coke
not pop

[furie]

I've always used the term "Bang in".

[cougarjake13]

When I've been sick I've always 'called in' sick to work. I had never heard the 'call out' term until moving to NJ. I hear both now so...do you call in or call out?

i guess its both


b/c you are calling in ( to the office and/or boss) to say you're not coming in


but you're calling out meaning you wont be showing up



ive always said called out though , it akes more sense to me

[Sarge]

We've always used the term "Banged out sick".

[Gvac]

You call in to call out.

This is the only proper answer.

Everything else is just the ramblings of mental cases.

Lock it up.

[DiabloSammich]

Neither. People call me. Cause I run this bitch.



Holla.

What's up with the term "standing on line" that I hear our good friends from the north use.
Down here we say "standing in line" like standing in a line of people. "Standing on line" makes me think of people actually standing on a line painted on the floor.
