There's debate online over how to effectively pull a sick day from work, without anyone realising you're actually faking it.
The advice to follow was simple but thorough:
- Two days are better than one, it's more believable to take more than one day off to 'beat' that cold.
- Prepare in advance. Start feeling sick a day or two before you expect to call in sick.
- Following on from this make sure you call early to make it seem like you've been up all night.
- Choose an embarrassing illness.
- Finally, it's recommended you do the "sick voice".
Have you ever faked a sick day?
