In message , writes Umm , perhaps if you'd read up on it you'd know that he's had over 200 sick days off in his "career" at LUL. I don't think many people get anywhere close to that in their entire working lives. The average UK worker clocks up 10 sick days a year - which works out at considerably *more* than 200 sick days in an entire working life. But we are not talking about an entire working life. He had clocked up 218 days' sickness in just 5 years. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

The reports I have seen don't make it clear whether the 218 sick days include the absence due to his ankle injury, which was "several months" until he was dismissed. An earlier absence of "several months" was due to "insomnia". -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

IIRC when I broke my ankle I was off for about three months, i.e. about 100 days. |

But we are not talking about an entire working life. boltar2003 was. In the part that you quoted you can see that he thought that many people would not get anywhere close to 200 sick days in their entire working lives. The average person will in fact take more than twice that amount of time in sick leave. He had clocked up 218 days' sickness in just 5 years. Indeed. That is more than four times the average. -- Paul Terry |
