I worked for a company that was happy to let people take personal days. But you had to schedule them well in advance because of “the needs of the phone queue”. Only a small number of people could be off per day.
And forget ever taking a sick day. Those cannot be scheduled and can mean an understaffed queue!
Of course, failing to provide for and staff for possible illness means that more people get sick because sick people come to work and spread the disease.
