Super Sick Monday, The Super Bowl Flu.
Congratulations, ?Kansas City Chiefs
?
So many employees take the Monday off after the big game they named it Super Sick Monday or The Super Bowl Flu. ?It is estimated that 16.1 million Americans will call in sick or even ghost employers today. The statistics show that 6 million will risk workplace penalties. Why do so many risks calling in sick up to a penalty, it is perception, how they will be perceived if they request the day off in advance. Then factor the 10 million employees that did requested the day off in advance, that is 26 million people that will miss work today.
Is there a good argument that the day after the Super Bowl should be a day off? If 17-26 million people will take the day off anyway, stats for US only, does not include Mexico/Canada, that is point #1. When they interviewed people who still go to work on Super Sick Monday, they admitted to being far less productive, point #2. The survey in the US 37% of Americans believe it should be a National Holiday, majority already make it an IOV (In Office Vacation), point #3.
?
If they do make it a national holiday believe Mexico/Canada should follow suit, after all we are #1 and #3 out of the 3 largest trading partners. China #2 has Lunar celebrations for 2 weeks in February.

Happy (Sick) Monday, to all who are slinging freight today
