This Company Offers 'Hangover' Sick Days To Its Staff

We've all had those nights when after one too many drinks at happy hour we've had to drag ourselves into the office the next day feeling like a piece of human garbage. 
If we're feeling seriously worse for wear many of us will use one of our sick days as a means to lie in a heap on the sofa recovering, but one company wants to offer its staff specific 'hangover' sick days. 
Music ticket app Dice are leading the charge and giving their employees four of these get out of jail hangover sickies a year. 
It makes sense that the company would be more understanding off late nights, considering that they sell gig tickets and encourage their staff to enjoy live music... no doubt with a beer or two in hand. 
Staff at the company can send their boss a message on WhatsApp using the music, beer and sick emoji to score a cheeky day off. This is in the hope that people won't just fake food poisoning when they've had one too many to drink the night before. 

Here's hoping that other industries start thinking along the same lines soon...
