Don't blame them...you call out sick, you get a write up, you get too many write ups, you're out the door. I tried to call out at a previous job with a 103 fever. I was told to come in anyway as I was 'lying' and just wanted Saturday off. If I didn't come in I would be fired. (Isn't working in a 'right-to-work' state just FAB???) Sooooooooo I went in and got sent home after less than 30 min because I was visibly shaking and could barely stand. Ended up being the flu and almost going into pneumonia. …and some people have to go to work sick because the place they work at requires them to.

Why is washing your hands such a big deal?? Dr. Oz said this "bug" can live on surfaces for two weeks. So, your sick on Monday and go to store for some medicine. You touch this, and that, the counter, the money. Tuesday I go to buy my kids milk. Wednesday I'm sick. I also have Cancer....... People with weakened immune systems catch these bugs very easy and it can become life threatening. How would you feel if you found out your co-worker died because you came to work sick? Wash your hands...use sanitizer. And quit wiping your nose!! Wash your hands people!!! Why is washing your hands such a big deal??
