I don't like Fridays

Recruitment agency review site HireScores.com has “noted a trend in the days that employees are likely to pull a sickie”.

Can’t wait to find out, so that the entire HR department can be put on alert? The days are… Mondays and Fridays. You don’t say! Apparently, the recent study of 1,700 members of the Great British Public found that Monday was the day that most people were likely to pull a sickie, with one in three admitting that they would be more inclined to call in “ill” on this day. And one in four said that they were most likely to call sick on a Friday so that they can start their weekend early. Thanks to HireScores for this insightful piece of research - and Recruiter greetings to those of you reading this from your ’sick’ bed.
