I take sick days all the time. Whenever I feel sick of work, bam! call out. It has done wonders for my personal mental health. I banked all my sick days my first year at my job like a fucking chump. No reason to do it, no one gives a shit except for the dorks who pride themselves on perfect attendance. I don’t think I have actually gotten legitimately sick all year.
I usually call out once a month, usually on a Friday or Monday. Everyone knows what the game is but no one really cares.

People do give a shit if you're pulling a "sick day" in a way that compromises deadlines or forces other people to stay late and make up for your work.
