Sick but functioning — push through or stay home?

People are way too eager to be 'tough.' Spreading illness helps no one, least of all the people who rely on you getting better faster.

Real dependency = showing up healthy next week, not showing up half-dead and infecting everyone

Depends what sick means. Runny nose? Go. Fever? Absolutely stay home.

Sick people functioning at 60% aren't actually helping anyone. Stay home, recover, return strong.

This is exactly how my office got hit with flu last year. One person 'pushing through' and suddenly half the team is out.
