Sick at Work

We all enjoy a good sick day every once in a while. Curled up on the couch in our favorite pajamas, sipping mom’s famous-but-lethal chicken soup and catching up on the awesomeness of Oprah, what’s not to love? However, take one sick day too many (or time off when you’re only a teensy bit ill) and you’re at risk of being perceived as a wuss or flake; fail to take a day off when you really need one and your co-workers could resent you for putting them at risk. Complicated? Not so with a basic understanding of workplace-specific sick etiquette.
