Stupid "Heroes": Why you don't come into work sick

No, it's not because you pass on your sickness to others.

It's because you make stupid mistakes. Why? Because you're sick.

And it's your fault. Playing the "hero," the "martyr," the - - - egotistical self-delusional fool who thinks everything will collapse if you don't show up.

OK, so maybe, like here, the company is cheapjack and they don't have a backup for you and if you don't get this done today the opportunity will not be there tomorrow. But are you capable of doing it?

Nope.

Obviously, today was not a good day. 'Successfully ticked off half a dozen people while rambling through a fever AND broke a valuable piece of equipment because the shivering fingers were fumbling. Smart person today.
