A Question for Captains and Above: Did you go sick?

Sorry not a boss here, just a lowly retired trooper. I don’t want to insult any of the good bosses out there of which I had many but some of the Captains and Lieutenants I believe Thought the job was revolving around them. My God if I miss a day of work the whole system will collapse type thing. Some are self important dictator types that should never have made the rank they did.
