If you’ve missed a lot of work lately and you don’t have a really, really good reason for your absence, it’s time to shape up — and fast. Paid time off is a privilege you need to earn, so stop abusing the system. When you call in sick because you’d rather spend the day poolside or simply fail to show up for work without warning, you’re tarnishing your reputation and bringing the rest of the team down with you.
3 Reasons You Need to Show Up to Work
Achieve Your Potential
The talent you have is obvious to everyone around you — that’s why you got the job. When you don’t show up to the office, you miss important meetings and lose valuable work time, causing you to be less informed and forcing you to submit subpar work. When you do make deadlines, the work you’re turning in is nowhere near the quality you’re capable of producing, so your poor attendance record is effectively causing you to sell yourself short.
The Team Has to Pick Up Your Slack
You were hired to fill a key position on the team, so if you don’t show up to work, your colleagues have to pitch in and cover all critical tasks. These people also have a full workload of their own to complete, so your unreliable attendance record causes them to have to spend extra time at the office, instead of enjoying much-deserved quality time with their family and friends. Not only is this unfair, it will quickly cause them to resent you.
You’re Costing the Company Money
There’s a ripple effect throughout the company when you’re not there to get the job done. Sure, your colleagues will try their best to divide and conquer your most important tasks, but they can’t do your entire job. In addition to possibly having to pay the rest of your team overtime for the long hours they’re forced to work, the company’s bottom line also takes a hit on the inevitable decreased productivity and the low levels of customer satisfaction associated with it.
