My Gen X co-worker said he wasn’t feeling good the other day and was coughing and sniffling. I was like, “Dude, you are sick, go home.” He was like, “I am not sick. I’m here, aren’t I?”
In his mind, you are only sick if you lack the ability to make it to work. Meanwhile, I am in August with all 6 of my sick days, 3 personal days, and 8 vacation used up. He has sick days banked from previous years.
