Absenteeism means remaining absent for the work which has been designated to an employee. Urban Dictionary

The much maligned practice of printing eleventy billion pages in a busy computer lab and then leaving them unattended on a laser printer's paper tray for long periods of time. Absentee printers often confuse and annoy their fellow computer lab patrons as their excessive printing quickly buries the print jobs of other lab patrons. This practice often forces harried college students to waste precious time sifting through dozens of pages of random senior theses, flyers, newsletters, and other miscellaneous crap in order to find their term papers, tragically thwarting last minute attempts to finish and print homework 5 minutes before class starts. Chronic absentee printers often sit blissfully at their computers browsing Facebook for extremely long periods of time before retrieving their documents. Absentee printing is endemic to college computer labs the world over. Urban Dictionary
