Popular Reason for Absenteeism

A survey conducted by Sambucol, a brand of multivitamins, found out that many bosses do not believe it if their employees asked for sick leave.

After surveying 3,000 employers, the researchers found that about 75 percent of them do not believe it when their employees requested permission to leave because of sickness. The bosses tend to think that the sickness is just an excuse to relax at home.

More than 60 percent of employers said that lack of presence over certain percentage gives negative effects on the promotion or increase of the salaries of the employees. Flu and headaches are not considered a strong reason to be absent from work. And one-third of the bosses also do not consider pain and diarrhea as sufficient reason to stay at home. Some other bosses even are not showing sympathy to the condition of a broken arm.

Fortunately, you can still apply to take a day off to recover your health. But, not more than one day. Most of the bosses expect their employees to go back to work after three days permit of influenza.

If you suffer from migraine attacks, you can easily get a permit for absence. But "headache" would not serve as a good excuse to not working during the day. Sambucol spokesman said, as quoted from Genius Beauty, most British businessmen are not expecting their employees to ask leave for sickness, unless in a really bad condition.

Infidelity is often considered as a betrayal only when it involves physical while in fact, emotional affair can damage a marriage as bad as physical/sexual affair.

Absence of physical intimacy in marriage, complicated by constant emotional and psychological involvement with another one may simultaneously "turn-off" the satisfaction and closeness with the partner.

"When you develop emotional intimacy with someone else, you and your partner will no longer feel emotionally connected to each other. The focus and energy that used to be for your partner have been moved to another person. Emotional affair has every means to turn-off a relationship quickly", said Lauren Mackler, a therapist and the author of "Soulmate: Master the Art of Aloneness and Transform Your Life", as quoted from NY Daily News.

Emotional infidelity can begin casual communication such as those in friendships, then goes on to a more intense relationship that ultimately culminating in an emotional relationships. At this stage, it has become a form of infidelity.

"One who is involved in emotional affair often does not realize it. So, as the time goes by, the relationship will become stronger and unconsciously they will then adjust themselves to one another," said Dr. James Wadley, a sexual therapist and marriage expert.

Then, what are the danger signs of a friendship that headed toward emotional affair? It is when someone can not think of others but his/her special friend, continual message sending either via SMS, email or chat, and especially when one starts to lie to his/her partner.

"When someone says to her partner that he would have to go home late because of work, while in fact he spent the time with the other one, it is the most obvious signal of a emotional affair," says Mackler.
