Why don't sick people stay the F*** home???

Because a workplace is not exactly kind to people taking time off work for too long. I am sure it is frowned upon. There are germs everywhere, we just have to get on with it and build our own immunity.

Management insists that people work regardless of their health. They demand notes. They call when you are at home. It is comparable to slavery. No breaks. No replacements. People work short and they become angry and depressed. It was like that at my second last workplace. People also feel they cannot remain at home to rest and to get better. They feel guilty. Why? Only full-time people have sick benefits. They have to use them wisely. But do use them. Don't be a martyr. Spreading your germs to others is not cool.

You know, I caught a little bit of flack for saying the same thing about parents sending sick kids to school. This kids mom sent her to school KNOWING she was sick. Two days later, my son has the flu. Selfish people!

At management level, we get "unlimited" sick days too, but after three consecutive days out, it's either come to work or get your doctor to fill out a bunch of forms so you will still get paid

I'm home. But, I had to leave to go to the doctor, and tomorrow, I have to go for x-rays. I wonder why they don't have portable x-ray machines, so we who are sick, don't have to go to places where we will undoubtedly pass on our germs. At least, I never went to work sick.

My boss always argues with me when I try to call in sick. Last time I was throwing up she said "are you sure you can't just come in anyway" I told her the rest of the office wouldn't appreciate it if I did. She said "idc about them!"

UGH...tell me about it! I still remember the worst time I ever got sick was right after attending a metal concert in early 2012. Someone there must have been sicker than fucking sick, because in just a couple of mornings after, I woke up with cold symptoms, except they were of the extreme kind. Super sore throat, waking up blowing a bunch of dehydrated green shit out of my nose and my body barely having the energy to get up off the couch and move around for several days.

Not gonna lie, I wanted to find whoever gave me that virus and shove my boot up their ass!

my g/f has been out of work for a week she has pneumonia

That always pissed me off. GO HOME, I don't think you are tough because you came to work sick!!!

how you know it's contagious?

4 of my kids have been sick

Thankfully where I work it's frowned upon to come to work sick. We're given enough sick days to take care of any illness we might have. I've been sent home by management more times at this one job than from all my jobs combined. People here just dont want anyone to bring that into the office!

The guy is a jerk.

what if he miss too many days work and fire him? maybe thats why he returned?

He might not be sick. You can have a cough and be totally fine.

Unlimited paid sick days?! Damn, that's an awesome benefit!

who else is going to do my work?

he's sharing

Because they get looked down upon. Ask society why.
