I didn't say that. Just saying that management may be generating a problem with workers abusing sick leave as a symptom. Look into the reasons sick leave is abused as it may be symptomatic of deeper problems within the organization.

A former coworker of mine shot himself. His suicide note was taken by the police and never revealed (suspect that it named names and places that would have gotten to politically connected into trouble). He hung on for a couple months before dying. I visited him a couple times and he made a comment that was rather chilling "if I had transportation the morning I shot myself I would have taken care of the guy you and I worked for, and some of the other managers before shooting myself."
