Sickness vs human egoism Image found at www.the-ohc.co.uk . We maybe feel bad if our team has to manage all work without us when we are at home because of sickness. But how bad or good is it to go to work even if we are sick?
  • It is not good at all but if we mentally feel better because of that then it is something else.
  • It is bad because we prolong the sickness period which can be exhausting.
  • It is also bad because we probably are in risk zone since spreading viruses to our colleagues can give negative result in the whole situation.
