Does anyone miss work when your very sick? Like sick as a dog. I have a upper respiratory virus that lasts a week. I also have a lower back that is killing me. I'm 3 days in with meds. Anyway, sitting around doing nothing on a week day is not for me.

No one wants to be sick brah. No one at work wants to be near you if you’re sick. It’s ok. Give yourself a little grace.

No, why would I ever want to be at work? If they didn’t pay me, I wouldn’t do it. That’s what makes it work!

Duty is my salvation.

Luckily, I mostly WFH, so I can still work when sick.

I have these exact things, plus positive for Covid, and I've been here (at work) all week.

Lol, no.

I might get a bit stressed if there's shite piling up that I can't delegate while I'm out, but other than that, no. Maybe consider reading a book?

I go to work at the office unless I think I'm contagious or physically can't function.

The latter has happened once to me (pneumonia), the former maybe once a year from having snot filled kids and I'll just work from home for a day or two.

I've never understood this thinking, even as management. You might consider that your real ill is gaining identity from your job.

I don't want to be at work on a good day, much less when I feel like shite.

*at work*
“Man this sucks I wish I was at home laying around on the couch”

*sick at home laying around in the couch*
