Why Are Alabamians So Eager To Take a Fake Sick Day?

Have you ever been tempted to take a sick day when you're not actually ill?

You’re not alone! “50% of Americans have admitted to faking a sick day from work. This is evenly split between men and women, with half of each claiming they’ve called in with a pretend illness,” said Money Penny Resources.

So why are Alabamians so eager to take a Fake Sick Day?

It could be due to workplace stress and burnout among Alabamians, which may be leading them to seek out more time off than what their employers offer.

Maybe the workplace doesn’t have strict policies on how often an employee can take a sick day or how they should document their illness.
