One in five lie when they take a day off saying they are ill when they aren’t. So says a survey reported on BBC this morning. Instead of the work ethic we now have a sickie culture. Worse still BBC breakfast were hardly condemning the practice.
Even worse is that these people who should be working and making sure our investments grow are instead clogging up the motorways and shops on weekdays when they should be the preserve of old farts.
Time we brought back the work ethic and stopped making excuses. Then perhaps the economy would recover and business would look up. We have come a long way from the days when to be late was a disciplinary matter, leave alone not turning up at all. It also seems today that it is OK to lie about anything so long as you do not get caught. We really are occupying the moral low ground.
Sorry I won’t be responding to your blog today—-I’ve got a bit of a sore tummy
