I am self employed and don't get around people as often as others working in retail, which is where my wife works.
Most times I get sick, it's because my wife gets sick first.
Since I am self-employed, I do not get sick days, so I lose money.
It fucking boggles my mind how much of a goody two-shoes ass kisser people think they look like to their boss by showing up sick.
Or saying shit like “I'd stay home, but I don't want to disappoint my team”.
Wouldn't you be more disappointed if you got 3-4 members of your team sick, and none of them could come to work?
Fuck your protestant work ethic. If you are sick with something highly contagious (Covid/Cold/Flu/etc), then STAY HOME.
