Just out of curiosity - no judging, but why do you go to work when feeling ill?
A lot of people get paid by hours worked so not showing up means a lower monthly income. And hourly contracts donβt have sick leave in many cases. At least in several countries around the world.
No work no money. No money no food. No food, die. RIP
Not an American, I take it?
I work from home, with about one day in the office a week, if it's something minor, or I think it's just seasonal allergies, I'll still go in.
