re: Co-workers that come into work SICK

I work unless I'm throwing up or can't physically get out of bed.

And as the person who's unable to take the cocktail of drugs that you probably take to make yourself functional, I say frick you for putting not only myself but my unborn child at risk.

When someone walks by me multiple times a day, literally hacking up a lung, is complaining of a fever, and shares the story of all the drugs that he's on to be able to be at work, that's inconsiderate, especially when you consider the fact that you're infecting other people with whatever you have.

ETA: I'm referring to people that show up to work with fevers, not a scratch on their arm or a chipped tooth. That's just dumb.

So after the project manager poopied his pants in the walk thru, did he go home and change? I'm just confused how he finished his day after this incident.

Doesn't need to be sent home. Needs to be fired.

for what? That's not something you can control man.

He said he keeps an extra pair of underwear in the glove box of his company vehicle. He was on site at the time and changed his underwear and trashed the old ones

I guess I'm glad he planned for these scenarios but that is messed up. Fire his arse

This should be in the employee handbook and on T-shirts

respect someone for working while sick

This is beyond ignorant. They should be sent home the first time with a warning and then suspended without pay followed by termination on the third offense. No excuse for putting other workers at risk and killing productivity by getting everyone sick.

we actually had a good number of folks that used to do this (me included)...finally, we all kinda came to the realization that we weren't getting shite done anyway and just passing the shite all around the office while there...

ultimately, we made it known that anyone who had any type of substantial illness needed to stay home...if you have something that has to be done, either get someone else to do it for you or work from home...
