I never bunked office & hence avoided working but yes health is wealth. During my absence in office also I do get connected to job by any means of communication & instruct to subordinates. Finally I am the decision maker.

Well, to be honest, no one is working without taking any leaves. Being a human being, we may also need leave due to our illness or family member for an emergency. I used to take leave only for a genuine reason. Thank you.
