In? Out? / All the Same

  How times change. It used to be that ailing workers, unable to report to their duties, would call in sick.   Not any longer: they now call out sick.
  In / Out-----I can see logic for both.  But calling in sick seems to designate a specific location. Calling out sick conjures up the image of a person in sickness and misery lying in their bed and screaming in pain.
   But, I suppose, it could just be my interpretation...
E.G. 1/5/19  CNN:    "Hundreds of TSA workers calling out sick."
