I’ve gone into work sick because I had a boss that didn’t like to work. (She took a “sick day” at least once a week. Her mom owned the company so that’s why she could get away with it.) Also have gone into work at this same place while sick because an employee got upset that due to boss being “sick” and me being sick she was left in a lurch. She knew she couldn’t admonish the boss so she took it out on me for a good week. And I’ve learned if the attitude toward taking sick days is bad then odds are there are other things pointing to an unhealthy work environment. (My work environment at this place was extreme. Each day was like working in a 9 hour Jerry Springer episode. This boss would scream at each people. Coworkers would scream at each other. Doors would slam. The boss did coke in her office. I got out of there as soon as I could.)

But luckily I’ve worked at other places where people were far more professional and reasonable. Those places understood if you were sick, you were sick. And usually people didn’t abuse the sick day policy.

I don't call off sick. Why? Because I know how it feels to be left holding the bag when someone calls in sick. The people I work with call in sick a lot (A LOT). Who does that leave doing all the work? ME. Maybe it's selfish, but it is what it is. That's why I don't call in, but to each his (or her) own.

Absolutely. Companies that make employees feel that they shouldn't take the day off when they are sick aren't good employers.

That is why I mentioned about bosses and managers who make their employees feel like they must come in when they are sick are doing their employees a disservice. I am glad to see that you are in a better position now to not feel as if you have to come in when sick

I totally agree with this! I have gotten sick too many times because someone came into work sick and was coughing and sniffling everywhere. It's no fun to have to waste your sick days, on well, being sick, but that's what they're there for!

I confess, I am one of these nasty germ-spreading people! Not due to lack of leave or love of my job (far from it, I assure you) but because an old manager of mine had the saying “unless you are dying of pneumonia, we expect you to come into work”. And it has taken almost a year to try and get out of that habit.

My manager after that was pretty good though. I would walk into the office, she would look at me and say ‘GO HOME! We can sort your leave later’.

My current manager though just doesn’t care, as long as you give him enough notice.

A lot of people in our job though, won’t call in sick for a weekend shift, because they have to call the department leader, not just their personal manager, and explain why they’re not coming in to work.
