Hopefully you took PTO and didn’t just ask to ‘work from home’ because you’re sick. If you’re going to be laying around not working, then you need to take PTO.

Big pet peeve of mine. Oh, I’m sick…can I just ‘WFH’ today? Take PTO, that’s what it’s for.


Agree with this

If you feel good enough to “work from home” then you could do it in office.

Hardly get it these days. Multivitamin, D and K2 vitamins, netty pot, and gargling mouthwash when I get that itch in the back of the throat. This formula has been money for me

I just got over some illness last week…relatively minor this time, though. You don’t appreciate good health, until you don’t have it.

I never get sick


Saline nasal spray every morning, along with Allermi nasal spray. I also take a Xyzal generic every day as well. Haven't been sick in years (although I recently added Allermi to my routine).

I fought this shite for 3 weeks starting the last week of December. I tested positive for Covid, but I think I had something else going on while or right after I was getting better from Covid.

I learned that Sudafed is your friend.

Anyone else lying in bed with a low fever, cough, sore throat, and mild headache instead of going to work?


So, an average winter illness?

Only fricking idiots bought the notion that flu disappeared just in time for a mystery coronavirus and that masking and experimental inoculations were the cure.

And potentially get everyone else you work next to sick? You sure sound like a sensible guy.

I’m just getting over the crud. I’m in the coughing like I’ve smoked 3 packs of Chesterfields a day for thirty years phase of recovery. Should be good to go by the end of the weekend.

I don't understand why are people still getting tested for COVID when the treatments for COVID and the Flu are the same?


So they can brag about it on facebook.

Also I’m shocked at how many people are saying they have had fevers. I haven’t had one since I was probably 5. I didn’t think adults really got them unless it was bacterial.

Your company must not be very busy if you would prefer no productivity to reduced productivity.
