GOING TO WORK JUST TO PROVE YOU ARE, IN FACT, SICK

A recent poll of 2,000 employed adults, by cough medicine brand Bronchostop, finds that many people go to work even though they are sick. Why?
– 38 percent come in just to show their colleagues and boss they are genuinely sick.
– Other reasons for coming in sick: Fear of being seen as “unreliable,” not wanting to leave others in the lurch, having too much to do, and not trusting others to do their work properly.
– 48 percent believe they’ve picked up a cold from a colleague in the past 12 months.
* Well, there’s no point on wasting a sick day sitting around home being sick.
* Many people did not respond to the phone survey because they were at work, hacking and coughing.
* The last thing you want to hear is, “Look – see? I told you I had the measles!”
* Bronchostop – official cough remedy of the Las Vegas Raiders! (Hated rivals of the Denver Broncos.)
