As someone who works as a mechanic, there is basically nothing you can do to enrage the bosses faster than showing up to work sick.
There’s a level of stupid where someone just goes in to work and toughs it out, and there’s a level of importance where you go in sick because the entire society depends on you.
Almost no one is part of the second category, though a lot of people who are in the first think that they are.
It is crazy that there’s always at least one person who is always proud of being the one who comes in while sick.
As someone who's in the blue collar workforce since age 13, anyone who doesn't show up to work is a pussy. Matter of fact most guys I know are bound to because they can't afford to take a day off and contractor's could cut them without giving them appropriate notice or lay them off early which I've seen happen. Many times over.
You can sit at home sick or make money sick.
I choose to make money.
