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

OMG! This guy in my department was out for 3 days. Now he shows up today sounding like he's going to cough up a lung! I guess I missed the announcement it was Bring Your Germs To Work Day!

And we get unlimited paid sick days! GET OUT!!!!

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

@crystalkid and if you are really sick, your doctor shouldn't be reluctant to fill those forms. They charge enough, it's not as if they are doing it as a favour.

@Serenitree They are rarely reluctant to fill out the forms, but trying to get an appointment within the same week is sometimes a challenge

@crystalkid true.
