"Not always true. Where I work the ladies seem to have every other week off due to a hangover or a slight sniffle whereas all the guys (except me but it's for diffrent reasons) have never had a day off sick at all this year " I have not not had a day of sick this century | |||

" I have not not had a day of sick this century " Me either, never had a day off sick EVER.... although I've also never had a bonus for going to work when I'm feeling a little under the weather. I would live so see a statutory "Well Pay" where people get paid extra for not being off sick Cal | |||

Have never understood the way people drag themselves into work with heavy colds, spreading their bugs to friends, colleagues and customers. Knew a woman who died from pneumonia. It developed after she caught a cold. Wonder how and from whom she caught it? Wonder if that person had a lot of pride going to work or shopping or whatever when he/she had a heavy cold If someone is ill, they should stay away from work situations - it's not just them that can be affected | |||

Far too many people take time off far too easily. It costs the economy £29bn a year (according to a BBC article recently). | |||

You are very lucky too. Hopefully you never find fault with people who do take time off sick when they are ill? Else you are part of a system that forces many workers to work when they are ill, especially if you say stuff like I've never had a day off ill this century! I have a relative who is very ill with chronic COP. If I pass a simple cold to that person this winter, it may well kill her. If I see someone at work with a heavy cold I won't to be too pleased | |||

Who is going to admit to phoning in sick when they could have gone to work? And does that figure take into account the reduced output of sick workers when at work? And the reduced output of colleagues who have caught their bugs? Or the cost to the health service? It might even be a false economy long-term | |||

" Wonder if that person had a lot of pride going to work or shopping or whatever when he/she had a heavy cold." And jus for clarity, a cold is a virus. How "heavy" the symptoms appear have no bearing on how that particular strain of virus will impact another person. Your cold virus will also be contagious for 2-3 days before you show any symptoms, and if your immune system is effective enough, you may never even realise you had a cold at all. NHS direct advise people to attend work unless they don't feel well enough. Cal | |||

I understand that a cold will be lurking before symptoms show but, once they have shown, how sensible is it to spread it? If you had HIV, you wouldn't fuck people bareback on here, I'm sure. Why do people think it's acceptable to spread their bugs when they clearly have one? It just gets passed around everyone then. As for talking of a heavy cold, that's simply the most indefensible - someone with a mild cold, I can, of course, see how they feel an obligation to work, but someone with a very heavy cold is being stupid and thoughtless. They are simply endangering the health of others. And they certainly shouldn't feel pride in working in such a state. They also perpetuate the system that forces people into work when they are not fit.... as does the phrase "man flu". As I said in my first post, perhaps women who go to work with "man flu" are just foolish? | |||

"What if people cant afford the time off work and need to work even if they have a cold because lets be honest statuary sick pay isnt the best is it " Atishoooo It depends on what job you do to be honest. It's not a matter of whether you feel up to the job or whether you think all is ok. It's all about what your work colleagues think about you spreading your germs | |||

Anne is in that precise situation Of course I understand the need to work when ill - there are financial pressures and pressures from employers. I am not really blaming people who work when sick, just asking them to consider the full implications. If they get sick pay and work when ill, they are being foolish in the extreme, I'd suggest, and, let's be honest, many do | |||

There's no point or need to see your GP | |||
