It’s that time of year again where many folks suffer from colds, sore throats or even worse ailments like the flu.
To make matters worse, these coughing, runny
nosed, feverish people actually come to work sick!
Just the other day one of my
colleagues came into work stating that he didn’t feel good. He
had the nerve to come in again the next day, and
then left about two hours later after saying
he thinks he has the flu. Why show up
and infect the rest of the office? I
remember last year, one girl spent half the day in the rest room puking her guts
out, but still continued working.
Why do people do it?
Is it the money? The thought of
having to make up their work once they return?
Will their supervisor give them poor marks on their next review? I think it is extremely selfish.
Hopefully, the large amount of
fruits and vegetables I eat during the day will help to
combat the germs that I encounter on a daily
basis from petri dish of an office I work in. I also wash my hands
carefully with soap and water throughout the day and upon entering my house,
and I don’t share food or drinks with anyone but my wife. Since the rest is out of my control, I simply
count down the days until this miserable sick season is over and the warm
weather returns!
How do you feel about coming to work
sick?
