Woman forges doctors notes and collected $21000 in paid leave. Wow. To what extent have you faked being sick to get out of work?

About the furthest i've ever went to faking sick for work was calling in when I had flu symptoms but no fever lol I know thats lame, but I really just go to work no matter what 99% of the time.

WoW, that is really outragious, how long did she think she could get by with that lie!!She must have been off work quit a while to have recieved that much money. Well she probally is now looking for another job.I have not worked in years, but when I did work, I called in sick a few times and said that I had the flu or something like that. I was off so much with real medical problems that I normally did not have to fake it.

That's absolutely outrageous, crazy! xo
People who are willing to do something like that have extremely low moral values.

HA HA HA. I wouldn't be surprised if whatever doctor's name she used filed a suit for misrepresentation. She probably used her real doctors name like a fool too. I'm sure she will also be paying back the $21,000 from her new job, should she ever get another one.
I have called out sick twice...yes twice ever. The first time I probably could have gone to work, I felt fine but had german measles and they are very contagious. So I basically locked myself in the house for a week or so.
The second time I never really did figure out what was wrong. My back hurt so badly that I couldn't even get out of bed. My doctor is a close family friend, so fortunately he came to my apartment, saw me, and prescribed something for me. I think he may have even gone to the CVS for me to get it, I don't really remember(thankfully).
I've never called out for a stupid reason. I've always actually been sick.

I thing that the furthest that I have gone would probably be calling in sick when all I had was a little cold. I would never go any further than that.

The worst I did was call in to say I had a fever and didn't, but then I felt guilty all day long. I normally don't call in sick. I am afraid that something serious will come up and I won't have the time to take off.
