Can I get sacked for this?

I certainly don't condone the attitude at your work place but... if you're too ill to go to work... you're too ill to be going to the Gold Circle at a festival/concert in my view...
If as an employer someone had called in sick but I found out they had attended a festival I'd have them up for diciplinary so quick the ink on the paper from the meeting invite hadn't dried before they were on a final written warning...

Wondered where this came from until I looked at the OPs sig..............yes I agree. Too much unable to work but I can manage to do anything sociable. I understand if the OP cannot work, but how would anyone feel having to cover for sick leave and then maybe next to sickee at a concert?

Lol at the super slueths! Nowt much gets past this board.

The OP has 4 days till the festival though, they might rest up go to the festival and then return to work for all we know.

Im actually going back to work on Thursday. (as I mentioned in post 19)

thats 2 full days before the concert, and I will have worked two full shifts when it comes to the day of the concert(15 hours) plus I will be working the day after the concert - the day I have taken for the gig is my scheduled day off.

I dont see how that would be a disciplinary offence if I've actually gone back to work 2 clear days before I go to the gig?! I've paid almost £500 for this weekend and thats another of the reasons I didnt want any time off at all. I see your point though - mum said the same thing (but then again she thinks if your leg's hanging off you should crawl into work on your one remaining leg!)
