Nobody says calling "out" sick. Nobody.

[quote] Nobody says calling "out" sick. Nobody.

OP I had never heard it until recently but on the news I keep hearing people talking about calling "out" sick.

From below link:

[quote] “Calling out sick” seems to be most common in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. But some people even say they "call off sick."

In Texas you "call in sick," but can also just vaguely say "call out."

"John called in because he has Covid."

"John's not gonna be here, he called out."

You can also say call in without an adjective.

"John called in."

When you notify an employer by phone, the call is going "in" to your boss.

You call in to call out.

You are OUT SICK after you call IN SICK.
