    Literally everyone acts like im some sort of evil disgusting monster and stays as far away from me as possible

    The bit anon left out is that this is how everyone treats him everyday, sick or not.

    Going to work sick is bad, either do it to make everyone else also sick (based) or stay at home

    You wanna know what makes that other guy a Chad? The fact that he doesn’t need to focus on who cares about him when he’s sick. Pity parties are a huge turn off for the majority of people. I think it’s a subconscious reaction that most people have regardless of who the other person is. Unless you are already close to someone, whether family or a close friend, you shouldn’t expect them to feel bad for you. I wouldn’t expect the clerk at a gas station to feel bad for me if I came in late to pick up some NyQuil. But we’ll definitely shoot the shit about how being sick fucking blows.

      I think you should get a pass for pity parties with your own family. I get really sick like once every five years. By Zeus, I want to be coddled when I’m really sick!

      I don’t think it’d be ready to take the financial hit over someone else maybe getting my cold.

      Ha that’s funny. Bills don’t stop because you’re fired for skipping work, and being sick and homeless is a death sentence in the US as many shelters turn away anyone visibly ill.

        Yeah, that is a deeper rooted problem in America. Hope you guys can address that for yourselves in the future.

        he types from the comfort of his couch, waiting to go to a doc for a sick note for his cold, instead worrying about work.

    If you’re sick with something that’s non-transmissible, then it’s on you to decide if you want to go to work or not.

    If you’re sick with something contagious, then I don’t care who you are, you’re a horrible excuse for a human being if you go to work.

      One thing you always have to keep in mind is, that depending on where you work someone missing means that all your coworkers have to work more to compensate. One example would be if you work on a farm. The animals don’t care if you’re sick. They are hungry. Depending in the time of the year and how many people work there someone being home means that the rest has to compensate you which results in a lot of stress and possibly more mistakes. The work doesn’t go away just because you go home. Sometimes stuff has to be done right now.

      However, if you are allowed sickdays and don’t work in an industry where someone missing means extra work for everyone, you’re right.

        As someone that has to go into work sick all the time, God I wish sick pay was required. I wanna be a decent person and try not to get people sick. But at the same time I live paycheck to paycheck and if I miss too much work oops now I’m fucked.

      Sorry but I’m not missing rent, going further into debt, or becoming homeless because I’m sick. My landlord doesn’t give a shit if I’m sick and neither does the electric company or my car insurance company. I wanna be a decent person and not get other people sick, but I’m not gonna risk losing everything because I can’t work. It’s the system that’s fucked, not the people. They would love to stay home but they can’t.

        I hate to be the one to say it, but it is the people. They’re not willing to band together to fix the system. They (we) can have+eat our cake, but they just can’t fucking agree, for not even a day.

      Then start voting far left instead of right wing. There are no federal protections for sick workers that don’t file for FMLA, FMLA requires approval and is unpaid, and bills don’t get paused when you’re sick.
