When are you too sick for work?

Winter means all kinds of funky diseases are lurking around each and every corner just waiting to strike you down into a sniffling pathetic heap, completely incapable of contributing to society.

Unfortunately, most of us are actually required to go to work, and too many sick days can put you behind you work load and on top of your bosses bad books. If you’re one of those people who has a perma-sniffle, you need to figure out when you’re too sick to go to work, and when you should just suck it up.

First things first, if there’s a chance that you’re going to make somebody else ill, keep it locked up.

Still not sure? Read our handy dandy guide on deciding whether you should hit the desk or stay in bed.
