Seriously. It's one thing if you're a salaried employee and get paid sicktime, but for everyone else? Staying home when sick is not an easy decision. (And even for those lucky enough to have paid sick and vacation time, if you're sick a lot, you could use up both sick time and vacation time and still run into trouble.)

I understand the kneejerk reaction to get upset when someone gets you sick, but I am baffled that this person had no understanding of why many people work while sick. Must be nice not to have those worries.
