I know there have been threads about this before but I couldn't find them.
People at my work keep making me ill by coming in spreading their germs.
Now I am feeling ill. Should I lick all the cups in order to spread my illness just to spite them?

Is it any wonder the Co-Op're losing respect?
It's even worse if you work on a supermarket shopfloor as a till operator or shelf stacker because you get made to feel guilty about putting pressure on everybody else and letting tje side down after so long.
Strangely enough, the last time i was ill at work, I went in feeling perfectly alrighr (I'd had a short chest infection which lasted three days) but with ninety minutes before the end of the shift I began to feel terrible and just wanted to get off home. I told the boss and what was his response (It'll be another hour before you can go).
I've got the same bad news for the Co-op as i had for NETTO- I can't help being off sick..
Sorry, supermakret shopfloor staff aren't supposed to be ill are we?
Best comment so far!
Can't afford to miss a day's pay unless absolutely a matter of life and death.
Once where I work someone came in with a stomach bug, when they were still being sick in the toilet every so often. Then they spread it to someone else etc etc then the whole department was off with it for a few weeks across the month. How bloody stupid
Or when you are in the kicthen area and someone comes in coughing and sneezing
Blame employers for sacking people with poor sickness records or only paying SSP.
She thinks she's holier than thou for coming in when she's ill, but she's just a walking health hazard. She should be in quarantine!
I'm asthmatic, so her respiratory germs really take their toll on me, and can actually be quite dangerous. Also, a woman in my office developed pneumonia from a chest infection, which itself developed because of a cold, which probably came from the said germ spreader.
Just not acceptable to be put at risk like that, just through going to work.
What a b*()ch
I think this is very good advice. If I cannot blame the Daily Mail, I blame Muslims and/.or Facebook.
Oh yes, she is, and not just because she's a spreader.
Many people come in when ill as they feel pressured to do so. They live in fear of losing their jobs.
not getting sick pay certainly focuses the mind when you're ill. I can think of a couple of times in the last 6 months where i could have easily taken time off. Not being paid for that day at the end of the month incentivises you.
