Wish I was joking. I wish everyone else was joking. But nobody made a face or even a hint at it being a joke.

imaging trying to call into your job tomorrow and telling them you wouldnt be there because your feet hurt.

must be nice to make 120k a year and get away with that.

I work in a warehouse. That may actually be the reason I ever call out.

I did this once. It was quite an Office Space moment for me that I couldn't believe worked in real life.

Imagine thinking that being in physical pain is an absurd reason to miss a day of work.

my roommate actually had to make up an excuse. he fell off his bike and fucked up his hand for a day. needed to go into the walk-in clinic to get stitches for 2 fingers.

too much booze + bike = bad time.

Managers can do a lot of their work seated at a desk though if necessary

Meanwhile TCs job probably WOULD be greatly impacted by physical pain

I mean, it might not be something mild. If they are entitled to taking time off for items like this for sick days, then its no big deal.

Edema can be extremely painful when the swelling is in the feet.

If her job requires being on her feet the entire day...her feet likely REALLY hurt. I would call in if that were my situation.

I've called in for something similar (though mine was a knee issue and I let them know the day before that might not be able to make it due to it) after having to walk back and forth to work for 3 days straight with a job that requires me to up alot. Which likely turned out to be a good idea as that pain ended up lingering beyond those days (wore a slip on brace to protect it for a few weeks), and even after those weeks there were days it would flare up for about 2 months (thankfully ever since then I haven't had any issues).

Point is if the pain is enough that it feels like you might actually cause a significant injury if you keep pushing it, it's probably wise to take a day (maybe even more depending on how severe it is) off to rest it.

I had to leave the field early the other day cause my back was fucked. It happens. As long as you're not the type to call in for inane things regularly, people will understand.
