There was a time when some people considered it a “badge of honor” to show up to work, even when they were under the weather. But now, we just want those sickos to STAY HOME.
In a new survey, 86% of people say they feel concerned about their own health when a coworker comes to work visibly sick.
And 42% admit that their relationship with a coworker would be “negatively affected” if that person knowingly showed up sick. 64% of those people say they consider it SELFISH if someone shows up to work sick.
Younger people are more likely to feel this way.
And naturally, the pandemic had a big effect. 57% say their “expectations of others changed since then”, when it became clear that some people cared a lot about not getting those around them sick, and others, not so much.
