Don't go to fucken work sick anon. Even if you're American.

For many easier said than done unfortunately

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.

Staying home because you are sick is not skipping work. Look at how engrained it is in all of these replies. I think its time for guaranteed sick leave. We can't really control it.

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