Automated Sick Calls?

Automated Sick Calls?

Ever needed to call your boss that you can’t come to work today or tomorrow because you’re sick, but wished to do away with the endless question and answer portion that helps explain why you have to skip work today? Maybe Group2Call’s new phone feature can help.

“Call-in-sick” is a phone service that let’s you pre-design your own sick call to record your message telling your boss that you can’t come to work today because you’re sick. There are lots of perks to this service, which includes you being able to schedule when your phone will automatically call your boss’ phone and deliver that pre-recorded message. That way, all is said and done and, more often than not, your boss can’t argue against you not coming to work anymore.

But then again, this kind of technology gives that precedence that people will desire to design their pre-recorded sick calls even when they are not sick. So who would mostly need to “plan” their sick leaves? That’s right: fakers.
