My company offers 3 days of unjustified sick leave for things like colds or minor health issues that don't really require seeing a doctor.

And sure enough, that guy - always that guy - got sick on Monday, then took a day off on Thursday, and now he's sick again on Friday. Strangely, his company car reports being at a ski resort 200 miles away.

Because you know, when you're bedridden, at least you should have a nice view out the window...

The joke is 40% of the work days account for 40% of the sick days meaning everything is fine. But some people just see the 40% number and assume people are gaming the system when it's actually all perfectly statistically normal with no games.

It's straight out of the book how to lie with statistics even though the number is totally true you give it an inference that points to your agenda
