I had a manager who decided we needed a doctor’s note after a sick day. His reasoning was the note confirmed we were well enough to be in the office. Meanwhile we all knew it was just to give sick staff a hard time.

When he pulled this on me, I agreed and started packing up and told him i would contact my doctor and let him know when my doctor could see me. Then I started walking out. He asked me why i was leaving. I told him since i didn’t have a note, and i needed one to prove i was not sick and could work as per his instructions i needed to leave. I followed up with the fact that my doctor was in a different town, and it could be up to two weeks for me to get an appointment. All of which true.

He told me i seemed fine and not to worry about the note. He stoped asking others as well.
