“The days of feeling guilty for taking a sick day will soon be over.”
Now, I don’t claim to be an expert on my generation like Farage, but I do have a Gen Xer’s worth of experience in HR and will say this: Guilt-free sick days have been around for a long time. Only a small portion of the population ever actually felt guilty for taking a sick day. Plenty of people took sick days when they were sick. Plenty called in sick when they were decidedly not sick, but just wanted a day off.
