Millions of GoT fans expected to call in sick after S08 finale
Nope, it's not satire.
Quote:People are already dreading the end of Game of Thrones but it looks like there's another way that the series finale will affect the world. A new report claims that millions of workers will be taking the day off after the premiere of the final episode.
The report comes People citing a new poll by the Workforce Institute at Kronos. Interestingly, the poll predicts that an estimated 10.7 million American will "call in sick" on the Monday after Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6 airs on HBO. The study claims that employees will skip work by calling in sick. Alternatively, some might use a last-minute vacation day to get over the shock of the series finale.
Of course, there's still a few that might decide to come in for work on Monday. However, there is a huge possibility that they could arrive late or work remotely. Either way, the show is still expected to affect productivity on Monday.
Nope, it's not satire.
