GTA 6 launch day could see fans calling in sick

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTake-Two's CEO told a Las Vegas conference, quote, I think a lot of people will be calling in sick on November nineteenth.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's Strauss Zelnick, the man selling the game, forecasting your absence from work. Does anyone's boss get a copy of that quote?

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call it proactive absence communications. He's simply getting the excuse note out ahead of the launch.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFox 29 says one point five million workers will skip it, and a billion dollars of work goes with them.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd the Wall Street Journal says some workers have banked paid time off for launch day, on purpose.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGood for them.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThough a later review found the one point five million figure isn't in the source it was credited to, and nobody has published how it was worked out.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the only confirmed sick person on November nineteenth is the number. Hashtag, SickDay.
