Are you planning to go to work today?

The day after the Super Bowl is often referred to as "super sick Monday."

According to a survey by the Workforce Institute, about 16.1 million employees say they may miss work today.

About 69% of those people said they would feel guilty if they did it.

The majority of those surveyed say the solution to this problem is simple: move the Super Bowl to the Sunday before President's Day so the day after the game is a holiday.
