Going to work while sick cold or flu?

Question

Do you go to work when you have a flu or cold? 
Do you stay home so you don’t get everyone else sick?
Do you go anyway because you want the money or don’t want to waste vacation days being sick?

Answer

A cold yeah, flu no... I can’t do anything when i have flu last time i was laid up for 2 days and i had no idea

Answer

i've always been scared that i'll end up getting an old person, or baby sick 
or someone with a weakened immune system sick
i would rather not risk potentially killing someone, over something like the flu 💀

Answer

I would say no. I work with food and if someone found out I was sick that could be very bad for the business.

Answer

Cold, yes.
Flu, no.
The flu is so much worse than a cold. I don’t think most of you realize that lol

Answer

Do you guys not get paid sick leave in the US? We do in Australia, and I’m Mexican and we get paid sick days as well in Mexico. So no, I don’t go unless I have something really really important at work that can’t wait, I just call in sick, don’t want my viruses spreading around getting other people sick

Answer

Stay home if I have a fever, puking or the shits. I don’t go back until I’m free of the shits, fever and pukes for a full 24 hours.

Answer

I only go if I feel like I could go but if I’m too sick and very contagious then no! And they really shouldn’t make you go either because tbh that’s nasty

Answer

If I have a fever I would stay home.

Answer

Anything with a fever is a no. A cold I would but definitely not the flu. Or if the doctor tells me I need to stay home x amount of days while antibiotics kick in. I work in an emergency room so I’m more concerned with how I feel since everyone’s already sick lol. But the rules are no fever diarrhea or vomiting allowed

Answer

Guess it depends, if I'm throwing up then I'm calling in. But I've worked when my allergies act up (I sneeze like every 20 seconds lol), I've worked through a fever, ear infections, colds... I really only call off when its severe or when I've been non stop sick for quite some time then I'll call off.
