National Sickie Day

Known as National Sickie Day in the U.K., the first Monday of February is statistically the day when most workers are likely to call in sick, according to research first conducted by British law firm ELAS in 2011. Experts attribute this to a combination of gloomy weather, post-holiday blues, and seasonal illnesses. 

Unsurprisingly, depression and anxiety run high during the winter months. Although the term ‘sickie’ implies false pretences, mental-health advocates argue that the stigma around mental health issues leads many people to use other, more ‘legitimate’ illnesses as their stated reasons for staying home.
