When did "call in" change to "call out"? And why? You "call in" to work to tell them you will be out.

It feels like it was in the last 5 years or so, but all the new people (younger than me) at work now say "call out," and I don't understand the lexicon shift.

you’re calling to get out. calling in sounds like you’re providing a reason to go in that day, which imo makes even less sense
