My bullshit meter is going off. Our plant manager has only been here for 9 months, and he's called in sick more times that I have in 6.5 years. His reasons for calling in have IMO been suspicious. He was out for an entire week with food poisoning. He then had kidney stones. Then his mom was sick. Then he had to babysit his neice (and suspicious came in the next day with a new car he had purchased the week before). Then many head colds have followed.
Yesterday he called sick saying he had pink eye. I thought it was strange that he and his eye seemed fine on Monday - he's the kind of person that talks non-stop about an ailment.
He came in today wearing an eye patch. He says his doctor advised him to wear it. My theory is that there's actually nothing wrong with his eye, and that he's wearing the eye patch to cover up the fact that his eye is fine. But it's very possible I could be wrong. Has anyone ever heard of someone wearing an eye patch for pink eye?
