Just out of curiosity - no judging, but why do you go to work when feeling ill?
No work no money. No money no food. No food, die. RIP
A lot of people get paid by hours worked so not showing up means a lower monthly income. And hourly contracts donβt have sick leave in many cases. At least in several countries around the world.
Not an American, I take it?
I work from home, with about one day in the office a week, if it's something minor, or I think it's just seasonal allergies, I'll still go in.
