I’ve flown with way too many “it’s allergies” people over they years and then a couple days later I’ve had their “allergies”.

Why worry about saving sick time? We get a tremendous amount of annual paid sick, and it’s “use it or lose it”. I’d use all of mine every year if I could.

What about the dude/gal sitting next to you? What about them wasting their sick time because of your selfish decision?

I honestly can’t believe we have to have this conversation as supposed grown adult professionals who are supposed to be paid well to make good decisions.

Why not? We get 3+ months of sick leave. The first sign of a sniffle and I'm calling in sick. No need to potentially end up sick on the road, or get someone else sick. I guess I don't love going to work so much that I'd go to work with a sniffle lol.
