Someone off sick and accepted Facebook friend request?

[MagicSweets]

Would this seem odd to you?

Your reaction is odd.

Starting this thread is odd.

Did they ring in sick with broken thumbs?

Plus sometimes if you've got eg a broken ankle, you might be perfectly capable of working but your work's insurance won't cover you for being in (because you couldn't easily get out in the event of a fire). So you can be, in essence, absolutely fine, but not able to be in work.

My god, what has the world come too, how pathetic is this thread.

No.. what's a social network that exists only on a device got to do with being off sick

YANBU. People off sick should lie in bed and not go on social media or use the phone except to inform manager of sickness. Alternatively, you could mind your own business.

You really really like this person don't you OP?

The list of "things people find odd and which are in fact not in the least bit odd" is growing by the second.

Dear god what a strange attitude to have!

I was off with an abscess and was able to respond to a couple of basic questions, where is x file, etc from people who were trying to pick up the slack, so perfectly feasible to click on a link.

I was off sick while pregnant, proper sick line in and everything and I was never off Facebook!

Could the other FB person have accepted a friend request that may have been sent a day or two ago?

ffs

Was going to post what Dextro did.

No. not odd in fact its vvv odd what youve asked. If you ill in bed fb is kinda an easy thing to do

Why have you only just added them on FB? Is it to nosy about to see if they're ill?

I'll never work again because I'm too sick.
What am I allowed to do?

Depends what they were off sick for.

I have ibs and sometimes i am unfit to leave the house due to it but that doesnt stop me using my phone.

Eh? Unless they've lost their sight and the use of their thumb, I don't get what your problem is? You do realise that you can lie in your sick bed with your phone if you feel up to it, don't you?
Surely it's only the same as watching a bit of telly in it, or maybe reading a book.

Oh god OP you're one of THOSE bosses

I bet you have a bad retention rate.

Unless you saw on Facebook they’d just checked in to an extreme sports centre, you’re being totally ridiculous.

I used Facebook while I was in hdu. I mainly read rather than posted though as anything I tried to type came out in a jumbled mess, I think it was the morphine.

No ... the person who found it odd would be the odd one to me.
