re: #661 Obdicut

Sad to say, but I think employers usually think “Tough enough to show up while sick? Good!” and would probably think, if you called it off, “I have no idea how sick this guy really is, maybe he’s a hypochondriac.”

Where I work, HR Department has put out a campaign to persuade workers to use their sick days when they get sick! You can not be productive if you are running a 103 fever, and your co-workers don’t appreciate you “sharing”
