The issue is when you know your coworkers will be much more stressed because you didn’t come in. You still shouldn’t go to work if you’re sick, but I try not to call out that often for the same of the people I work with.
But if you go to work sick, there’s a good chance you’ll make your coworkers sick, and then you’re the one who has to deal with them taking a sick day.
Keep telling my girlfriend this. Stop feeling bad that they’re short staffed. You’re not management, it’s not your problem.
