At work I have 4 people around me at varying stages of a cold.
I can feel the onset of one myself as a result.

I can't stand people who are obviously ill but come into work anyway infecting everyone around them - Just stay at home.

NB: Only applies to people who get paid sick pay as If I got paid by the day I'm sure I'd struggle in as well.

Should be there

Personally if it's other staff members I wish they would stay at home and not spread their germs around......

However if it's me I'll struggle in so I can hopefully spread the germs around to my co-workers. Don't see why I should have to suffer it on my own when I can spread around to other people and make them suffer too

I always stay home at the slightest excuse. I'm sure it takes longer to recover if you struggle on.

I was sent home on Monday - too ill to work apparently To be fair, I was coughing like a 40-a-day smoker and it took me 3 attempts to copy a file from one folder to another

On the plus side, I think I managed to give whatever I have had to my boss.

I work for a large company where the average number of sick days per person is nearly 9 per year.

If you are out of work on 2 occasions on a rolling 18 month cycle then you get a warning letter sent home. As a manager I dont want that letter going home. Last week I was ill and went to work. I didnt do alot and felt awful. I felt angry at the company for putting me in the situation where I felt I had to go in. However I did do some work where normally I would have stayed off and done nothing

It's a difficult call .......

To be fair I think if you are ill enough you wont care if you are being paid or not, you will be led in bed and not care about the consequences.

It was an easy poll for me since I was not allowed to do my job if I had a cold and it was a very stupid thing to do to risk spreading it to the others at work!
