Millions Will Call in Sick After the Super Bowl!
In a perfect world, gorging yourself on chicken wings, beer and chips ‘n’ dip while shouting yourself hoarse would be a legitimate excuse to call in sick the following Monday. However, most employers frown upon “Super Sick Monday.” Still, that didn’t stop nearly 14 million employees from planning to call out sick for the day after last year’s Super Bowl, according to a survey by Mucinex. This year, that number is expected to jump to over 17 million, the largest expected level of workforce absences related to the Super Bowl.
