If it's not going to kill you just take it like a champ. And if you're so frail and delicate that the flu is going to kill you then maybe you should be the one staying home.

Re: Confession Thread

so people who have some sort of health problem should just never leave the house because other people can't take one or two days off?

my best friend has cf, even getting a cold can be really bad for her. she shouldn't be forced to be a hermit because other people are selfish and thoughtless.

Surgical masks work wonders for avoiding catching respiratory infections from random passers by.

Your friend's probably more at risk for you giving her a cold during the presymptomatic period than for getting one from someone on the street.

I really wish people here would use those the way they do in Asia. I spent some time in Japan and it was pretty much expected of you to wear one if you were sick to avoid exposing others - they even had ones that were designed to look cute and fashionable.

I would blame the systems in place that don't always allow workers to take days off sick when they need to before I would blame the people.

is that really a common thing though? i've worked a bunch of food service and retail jobs and they would all either send you home if you showed up sick (because they didn't want someone sick helping customers or making food) or they would have you find someone to switch shifts with and if you couldn't, one of the managers would cover for you.

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

We've had this discussion of f!s before (I kind of assume this thread is just to start wank) and there were several people with examples of times they couldn't take off.

There are definitely nice bosses out there who will let you go home, but there are also some not nice ones. Plus a lot of illnesses take a long time to work through the system, so even if you're allowed a day that doesn't mean you won't be contagious/at full health when you go back to work. Anyone who thinks someone ALWAYS needs to stay home isn't understanding reality.

Re: Confession Thread

see in my experience it was only them being nice some of the time, the rest of the time it was that they thought having sick employees reflected badly on them or the store. one of my bosses was a total asshole but he would still tell people to go home if they were sick because he didn't want customers thinking he was an asshole.

Re: Confession Thread

I could see that but I still know it can vary by the boss and the industry, if a boss can put you somewhere where you aren't dealing with customers, some will take that option rather then letting you go home.

Sometimes going into work doesn't even have anything to do with how nice the boss is or not, if a company/store/whathaveyou is too small that they can't get a shift covered, bosses will make people stay. I've encountered a lot of sick salespeople and known a lot of friends who went into work sick before just because a shift could not be covered.

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

that makes sense. i've never worked for a really small place so that's never been an issue but i can see how it could be if there aren't many employees who could cover for someone.

Re: Confession Thread

Also, imagine if you *are* the boss and you get sick. I've definitely been in situations where if I can't work because I'm sick, then it's impossible for anyone else to work, either, and there's no backup.

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Some places do allow that, yes...but most of the ones I and people I know have worked at only allow for a select amount of sick days. If you go beyond that allotted amount of sick days available to you, then you do run the risk of it having a negative impact on your job.

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

oh yeah, i didn't mean to imply that they gave you unlimited sick days, just that it wasn't seen as a big deal for you to call out every once in a while for illness.

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, yeah, I understand what you were getting at :). And you're right-if someone's lucky enough to only get sick every great once in a while at work, then yeah, most jobs are going to be pretty cool with that.

Re: Confession Thread

I've had friends have their hours cut way back because they dared to stay home sick, although it seems more common that they get in trouble for staying home to take care of sick family, usually small children.
