>>Who knows - maybe he's one of those husbands that just says "yes dear" to everything without listening. "Is it normal to make sick employees talk to you every hour? Yes, dear. I'm going to tear down the curtains and set them on fire right here. Yes, dear" :)

I love this thought! It really made me chuckle!!

>>But I have a suspicion that a lot of the people who are in constant contact with their office when they're sick are doing so by choice and that it's not really necessary. "Look how important I am, the workplace can't get along without me"

I think you're right. This woman is one of those people. Even before she became a manager, she used to like to let everyone know that she checked her email and messages all the time from home. The ultimate role model of our workplace is the overall division boss who has insomnia and leaves people email and voice mail messages in the middle of the night!

>>Is there someone at your workplace in a position similar to yours, or under the same supervisors? If so, it might be useful to subtly get a sense of what kind of treatment they get and how it differs from yours.

One was just let go, the other has had some similar kinds of treatment. We support each other all the time.

Thanks, Snoozy.
