UK tech company introduces free days off for hangovers
How would you feel about working for an organisation that rewards you with a day off after having one too many cold ones?
You call in pretending it was the takeaway fish you had that's given you the worst food poisoning in the world. I'm sure that a few of you can relate to this?

However, for some lucky employees in the UK, their company is allowing them to take a day off when suffering from a hangover! Yes, you read right. According to Business Insider, UK-based music ticketing company Dice allows their employees to take a 'hangover day' for free after they've attended a gig the night before.
What's cool is that they don't need to make excuses. All they need to do is send a sick or beer emoji via WhatsApp to their boss.
It is said that the average worker takes four days off sick a year, but Dice is trying to encourage transparency and honesty for employees so staff will no longer have to fake a sickness, but rather be honest with them about their late nights out.
Would you be keen on working for a company that allows you to take a day off to recover from a hangover? Or would you rather fabricate a story and fake an illness?
