Yup, your colleagues will be taking a sick day after 'Game of Thrones' finale.

Fans are waiting impatiently to find out who ultimately will win the titular"Game of Thrones," but some new research indicates who’s going to lose: Bosses, come Monday morning when everyone is figuratively or literally checked out.

“People have lives outside of work,” said Joyce Maroney, executive director of The Workforce Institute at Kronos, and employees might not be as worried about a last-minute absence with an unemployment rate of less than 4 percent. “It’s really spread beyond the normal realm of television,” said the company’s vice president, Andrew Challenger. “Fans are pretty dedicated, andChallenger said it would be difficult — and counterproductive — for employers to try and police or quash Thrones-related chatter. “Generally, with these types of distractions in the workplace, we think they’re really difficult for employers to combat. An if-you-can’t-beat-em-join-em approach tends to be best in these type of scenarios,” he said.

Sick from how that episode ended and/or series. If this is how the writers operate probably shouldn’t invest in any other work they do. They’ll just get bored and series will just be rushed and suck

I’m taking a sabbatical week because the show ended.

If you can’t stay up until 10:22pm without taking the next day off, then you should be fired.

I'm off on Monday's but it was a really good ending. I'm satisfied.

Now I’ll know who all the babies are

My colleagues need to grow the hell up.

Whatever is worse than having no spine is what wrote this godforsaken article.

What a sad headline.

Nah, I actually think they won't be. Shorter ep than usual, and massively underwhelming.

I'm writing up anyone without a doctor's note.

Ha ha yeah I too invest so emotionally in a television programme lmao

Why 'Game of Thrones' fans aren't happy with this final seasonThe final season of 'Game of Thrones' was supposed to be a climax of brilliant storytelling, a time when all the pieces in this sprawling, intricate Westeros puzzle finally snapped into place. Instead, fans are grumbling. They built up the final season for years and now it’s arrived it’s disappointed on every level. I’ve never known such a high profile show disappoint in its conclusion. Utterly disappointed Who gives a crap? Really? Not everyone watches this garbage It is great so far, more lighting to ep 3 and a better end to Jaime would've better though.

'Game of Thrones' star weighs in on petition to redo final season: 'That sucks''That sucks,' said 'Game of Thrones' star Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm), after learning of a petition to remake the final season. The series ends Sunday. Bunch of idiots 🤦🏻‍♂️ It's only TV. Get a life It's just sad that they (HBO) spent 7 years flirting, then sexting, then a long romantic dinner followed by a hot night cap, to only end it all by prematurely ejaculating. Viewers got the ending they expected. But..yeah.. GameofThrones GOT GOTS8 GOTS8EP6

It Is Now Clear Having Two Short ‘Game Of Thrones’ Final Seasons Was A MistakeGame of Thrones is sprinting toward its ending, but HBO, George RR Martin and fans all agreed that it should have taken its time with more seasons. They could've been 24 episodes each and people would find a reason to bitch. A very popular show is ending cue the criticism, happens everytime except maybe comedies That, or we've just realised how shit the writing is... disagree... the soap opera could only be dragged out for so long w/o becoming tired. had the showrunners played things out over 10 seasons we would have become bored. They spent a very long time putting the characters on the board & winding them up, it was time to let 'er rip.

Over 250,000 disappointed fans sign petition to remake the final season of 'Game of Thrones'A petition to call on HBO to remake the eighth and the final season of 'Game of Thrones' with new writers has surpassed a quarter of a million signatures. Season 8 was atrocious. It was like it was written by a child. Good luck with that.... All those 250,000 casuals can write their own show that way us REAL fans can enjoy it without crybabies not having the way they wanted it to end.
