One company faced the ire of a doctor this week after they asked their employee to prove that they had a cold.
However, when the employee went to the doctor to get the sick note as requested, the doctor responded with this letter.
The letter was posted on Reddit this week and has been getting a big reaction online.
The note was posted on Reddit by eaglel66.
It reads: “[The employee] has had, by their own report, a cold today and sensibly stayed home from work rather than spreading this to his colleagues/customers.
“I have no test for the common cold and therefore believe him/her, however you feel his time and mine should be wasted by making him sit in the walk in clinic for hours and me spending time writing a sick note that I could be spending on people who genuinely need my attention.
“Please reconsider your policy on this – there are surely better ways of wasting your tax dollars.”
