Out of the 17.5 million, only about 11.1 million requested the day off, about 4.7 million will be using a sick day, and about 1.5 million will vanish or “ghost” their employer for the day, according to the survey. The behavior will be similar during the Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the U.S. presidential election in November.
