Not an engineering company, but my fiancé had a coworker who would always call out sick for his kids or for having to deal with his divorce. I'm not saying those times weren't true, except for the one time when he called out on a Friday for having to deal with his divorce, and then posted on IG that morning from a plane to Hawaii.
Absolutely. He also wasn't even good at his job to begin with, and that was the straw the broke the camel's back.
OMG!!!!! LOL if you're going to lie about calling in sick, at least not post pictures of your vacation to social media. Did that person get fired?
I love those moments. I am currently dealing with a co-worker like that. He always has something coming up that he needs to deal with during company time, his "kidney stones" that seem to flare up every few months, and he wastes at least an hour a day talking about nonsense or complaining. Yet he claims that he is under paid for his hard work. People like this live in their own little world.
That's crazy. If I end up talking with a coworker for an extended amount of time, I get really paranoid and make sure I don't charge it to whatever project I'm working on.
I might have charged the aftermath of Taco Tuesday to 1 or 2 project in the past.
