Agree with the OP however managers often don't understand how to 'manage'.
"you're not dying? I expect you here coughing your guts up everywhere." rather than: "you're ill, get yourself right and get back." so they're not spreading it around.
That said, English people in particular are absolute pains in the backside as they often ring up 'sick' because they've had a night out or want a lie in. Cynical however pure truth as I used to deal with warehouse people and I knew others who confirmed my thoughts but I couldn't report people as that's a managers job. Non-English people were far more reliable especially at weekends! lol
Sometimes we reap what we sow. When I worked in admin - I knew the managers and they knew that if I phoned in ill I was literally leaking illness everywhere lol.
