After a broken nights sleep and feeling like crap with aches and a temperature. I've decided to call in sick.

Why do I feel so guilty in doing it?

It is strange that sometimes we feel bad for calling in sick, when we are sick.

But if you have something on, a lot of people call in sick without any issue

Last company I got proper moaned at for calling in sick. Messages most of each day asking if I was coming back in etc.

Phoned in sick at new place, boss said yeah there’s a bug going round probably best to not pass it on. Just phone when you feel better.

Yeah I have really supportive management and I get full pay when of sick. They I know work hard and don't kick the arse out it but still I feel bad for doing it.

I don't know why people feel guilty for no reason. I think it might be that some people have a sense of responsibility that has gone one step too far.

I started working when i was 16 and probably had around only 14days off sick since then. I seldom get ill but if i do it usually falls on my days off.

Being self employed, I always try and go in if I can, to avoid loss of wages.

However, balance this with not wanting to pass on any germs to my colleagues.

Thankfully, I can work from home in my current role, which is exactly what I'm doing today - being reasonably productive, earning, and not subjecting the entire office to my hacking cough. Wins all round.....

Employers who don’t care if you’re ill, shouldn’t make you feel guilty within yourself. In my experience there are no jobs which will cause a downfall of a company if one employee takes the day off.

As others have said most employers won’t give you a pat on the back on for sacrificing yourself.

Got to take care of yourself because no one else will!

For me I know it’s better for everyone if I take 3 days off, get better and go back to work. Rather than dragging myself in and staying ill for a few weeks.

I had to have six months off work once. I didn't feel guilty for one day of it. I couldn't help it and I hadn't done anything wrong.
