Hello everybody. Hope I'm not bothering you with this request. Yes, it's
once again an N&O reporter seeking comment.
I'm working on a story for tomorrow about the tendency we have here in
the U.S. to go to work even though we're sick. Many of us think we can't
afford to stay home because work would pile up in our absence. Or we
feel guilty  when our co-workers have to pick up the slack. Perhaps we
can't stay home because we have run out of sick time, or feel too
"dedicated" to work to stay out.
I was wondering if any of you have gone to work on days when you should
probably have stayed home in bed, and if I could talk to you for a few
minutes on the phone about that? My number is below.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
