The introduction of the mobile phone has made it

easier to break commonly acceptance work practise.

I.e. In the past when you are ill, you CALL work and advise you wont be in, then you CALL everyday until you know that you will be back. Nowadays I find that people text and say they feel bad, not that I dont believe them but a call is fairer when it comes to part accessing whether they are ill or just bunking.

I'm off work today as I don't feel great, I called just before 9am before anyone asks
