AGDee, I really hate when people come to work sick and spread their germs around. I would so much rather they take a day (or two, or three) to rest and start feeling better rather than exposing other people to their germs. Plus, I feel like people who come to work super sick aren't even all that productive anyway.
Me too! It's a side effect of us having a combined sick and vacation bank. If you never call in sick, you get more planned vacation time. If you call in sick a lot, you get less vacation time. It's designed to reduce call ins for pre-planned things like dentist appointments. Also, since I work for a health care system, it's a hardship for them when they have call-ins in the patient care field since those people have to be replaced. But, I definitely have co-workers who refuse to "waste" their time off on being sick. They are NOT productive at all and they may as well not be there. I sometimes wish management would send them home.
