If you're hacking, constantly blowing your nose, and

coughing at least every 5 minutes, nobody wants you near them.
That said, pop in some Vitamin C and some Zinc.

I have never called in sick. I have been sent home twice.

Once because I had an ear infection, could not hear. I wasn't in pain, but not exactly comfortable either. The other, I scratched my eye. Boss freaked out, though I had pink eye.
I'd have to be so bad off that I knew I'd only stay in bed all day. I felt bad with my ear because I was able to sit up and play video games.

After working at a doctor's office... if I am contagious, I stay home. The doctor's constantly said that is the most prolific way germs spread... sick people going into public places. They would write people notes to stay out of work for a couple of days. One guy said that there is no way he wasnt going to go back in. The checkout lady told him it wasnt for him, it was for everyone else at his work. He kinda looked dumbfounded that he could possibly get someone else sick.

One of the best way to reduce worker absenteeism

Is for sick workers to stay home. This is why incentives for attendance have been done away with at most companies. If you have the flu, tough it out, go to work, now 5 other people have the flu.

Does the magnet industry require your contribution THAT much that it can't bear you to be away a day or two to be a sicko?
