shit like this is why I call out the day before if I start feeling sick, including text messages my boss, and tell them if I feel better in the morning I'll make it in otherwise, don't expect me.

anytime they say text messages are not 'legitimate' way to call out, I just be like well it's documented that I sent it, and you reach out to me via text give me instructions so..

I always call in sick the night before because otherwise I might have to wake up early for no reason. Plus, that way my boss knows I'm not coming in as soon as she shows up to work at the ass-crack of dawn. I work at a daycare so knowing how many employees will be there is extremely important for legal reasons.

I can call out via email, in fact it’s preferred so we have written time stamped confirmation from both staffer and supervisor! And I will use “schedule send” in gmail the night before so I don’t have to wake up

That’s great if you start feeling sick the day before, but if you wake up feeling sick how were you supposed to have predicted the future?
