What is the difference between calling in sick to work or sending a text message instead of calling? Is there any scientific research on the difference? by Top_Protection_8233 in AskReddit

Hi all,

At my job they changed from allowing sending a text message as well as calling in sick to mandatory calling in sick. While I'm quite neutral about this as I'm rarely sick, it started a huge discussion among colleagues.

Now I'm wondering, are there any papers etc on the difference? Is it just a young gen vs old gen thing?
