No sick leaves please!

The sick leaves served as a good factor for the employers to easily shortlist the list of job cuts. So the more sick leaves the employee takes, the more he is likely to be in the pink slip list of the company. This made employees to turn out to the office even in sickness. I don’t know how they made it. I could have never been able to do that.

It was even found in a survey. It said that the HR professionals of many companies have considered the number of sick leaves as a key factor for lay offs. Other factors included disciplinary records and performance assessment.

This might have been a good strategy where companies didn’t require to lay off people obligatorily. But these days, companies are too often into lay offs due to recession. And it is serious to consider sick leaves as a factor for redundancies even now. It simply destroys career of a person.
