Do you feel guilty about calling off sick?

Do you ever feel guilty about calling off sick when you don't feel good but think you could probably make it through the day without throwing up even though you would not be at full capacity?

Not anymore. When I was younger it bothered me but definitely it anymore.

Depends how good my excuse is, if i genuinely feel off though i wouldn't feel guilty one bit, no jobs that important.

Most of the time I just go in unless I just can't and normally have sick time left over at the end of the year. @SW-User

Yes. But if I get sick, what's the point working that day because I know I never able to concentrate. Or worse I spread bacteria and virus.

Very true. It is hard to focus when you are not feeling well. @SW-User

If I ever call out sick, it's for an extremely good reason. My employers also never question me as I never call out.

My employer is the same way. I don't abuse the time. @StormyLynn

@rjc36 I do on occasion when I'm not feeling well, but I hate to go in when it is or may be contagious and spread it around (and I hate when others do that too because I usually end up sick).

Most of the time I just suck it up and work through it but I know we are not that busy so I will take one of my sick days. @SW-User
