Do you go to work when ur sick? or take the day off for just a fever? I always come to work even when im half dead.
November 1, 2010 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #705920ronrsrMemberI am against people coming to work sick. I’m trying to stay healthy, and they’re hacking germs all over me.
I think there’s a name for this now, “presenteeism.” When you go to work, when you should really be home.
Please be considerate and keep your germs to yourself. Thanks!
also, I’m self-employed, so if you go to work, and make me sick, I lose a few days of income. Coming to work sick is not a victimless crime! and you are not the victim!
More businesses claim to discourage coming in sick, but I haven’t really seen this work in practice. There’s got to be a better way. It’s not good for you, and it’s not good for me.

Its a crazy thing though! if you feel sick, GO HOME

November 1, 2010 8:47 pm at 8:47 pm #705924aries2756ParticipantNo, it is not fair to your co-workers and if you are not at your best you are not a productive employee. If you need the day off, take it.
November 1, 2010 9:43 pm at 9:43 pm #705925crdleMemberI work perfectly when im sick, i just feel like my head is floating a lil!
November 2, 2010 7:04 pm at 7:04 pm #705926bptParticipantI’d stay home, but that would mean no CR, so given the choice…
