BrobaFett Walk-on

I totally agree that sick people should stay home. BUT, if the company doesn't provide sick leave then I get why employees don't stay home. They need that money and the company should give them sick leave.

If they have sick leave and using it for other purposes...then sucks to be the employee. Go home.

How many times have you called in sick to work?

Probably about once or twice a month. But I end up just working another day

You should get yourself checked out. Several times a month isn't normal.

Like ever? If you haven’t ever, you’re either really young, healthy or spreading germs like a mad man.
