My girlfriend worked in the HR department of our provincial government for a while doing filing, and she came across a ton of instances of people having to attend "attendance management meetings" because they exceeded some arbitrary threshold of absences. Those meetings, however, were set up automatically with a department completely separated from where they were actually doing work, and the vast, vast majority of them were cases where their managers had approved the leave and already made the appropriate arrangements to ensure continuity of service. In every way, it was just a bunch of micromanaging bureaucracy that wasted everyone's time for no actual gains.
