So last night my throat started to hurt and I thought nothing of it. Then I woke up around 2am and couldnt swallow and barely was breathing it scared me. This freakn salesman comes in atleast once a month and seems to be always sick and then 2 other coworkers all week have been bitc**ng that they have runy noses and have been sneezing coughing. Well now Im sick and I NEVER get sick Im so mad because now I have to go to the doctor when I should be working! Thanks for the rant 🙂

Yeah, I HATE it when people come to work sick. We have unlimited sick days where I work, AND we are scientists developing antibiotics. There’s no excuse. Nobody thinks you’re a trooper for coming in sick!! Nobody works at 100% capacity when they don’t feel good – just stay home or work from home!

Ugh this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Honestly what the heck is sick time for if you dont use it when you are actually sick! Ive gotten sick several times from sick people coming into the office. In fact, back in January I actually wrote an entire blog post on this because i was so bothered by it!

Im actually home sick today 🙁 I was home yesterday too. Nasty case of strep (am I like 10?). I work in public health so people understand if you stay out if you’re not feeling well lol.

ummm yea…..im one of those people that you all hate. granted I work mostly alone and in my own office but I towards the end of the year I usually dont have much sick time left to use so in that instance? sorry charlie im comin in. I am polite though and I do lysol everything and use good sick etiquette. And trust me if i have a choice I will stay home (it sucks getting through a work day sick) but in the event that I have to choose between losing pay for taking time when no sick time is available or coming in im going to choose to come in.

I used to work at a call center and those are the worst for people comming in sick… when you get to work you have to sanatize EVERYTHING at your desk… But then again work didnt understand when i lost my voice and couldnt come int work…. HELLO call center and no voice do not mix… lol
