I called into one job I had, which involved a lot of phone conversations, and told my manager, truthfully, that I was sick, my throat was bleeding, I had a fever and wouldn't be in because I was going to the doctor. She actually asked if I could change my appointment to the next morning and come in for at least a couple of hours! TWO HOURS!? Wouldn't have been worth it even if I was feeling fine. I said, "It's against company policy for me to come in with a fever" and hung up on her. I'm glad I don't work there anymore.
