Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I’m definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

    A junior team member sent me an AI-generated sick note a few weeks ago. It was many, many neat and equally-sized paragraphs of badly written excuses. I would have accepted “I can’t come in to work today because I feel unwell” but now I can’t take this person quite so seriously any more.

      Classic over explaining to cover up a lie.

      I never send anything other than “I’ll be out of the office today” for every PTO notice.

        Exactly and lets me honest you coworkers don’t want to heard about you explosive diarrhea problems or the weird mole on your butt.

        I dunno, I’d consider it a moral failing on the part of the person who couldn’t be honest and direct, even if there’s a cultural issue in the workplace.

        Dunno, everyone else seems to be happy sending a one-liner 👌

        Exactly, if they’re too lazy to write a fake sick note then they’re certainly too lazy to work, either send them in for remediation or terminate them, either way they shouldn’t be in the workplace
