   The correct answer is — My weekly production is down.

   The boss doesn’t care if you’re sick or not, just feed the machine and keep my projections on an upward slope — or else…

   Correct answer: I can’t afford to be sick. I would get the pink slip.

   In extreme cases, I wear a medical mask at the office over my mouth & nose. No joke! I should wear one now – I’m at work, and my boss is here, still recovering from the flu.

   All too often, that’s true. Let’s not start a political thread, here, but too many people don’t have paid sick days, becoming a public health hazard. “Want some (sniff) cweam wid dat cofee, honey?”

   I was always afraid of even taking off work for vacation. I had read of people returning from vacation just to be fired. Not for anything they did just fired for someone cheaper and less experienced to fill their place.

   One of the electricians where I used to work took his first vacation in 10 years and was fired the day before he was supposed to come back to work.

   @Wolf: yeah, but that is hard to do when you work at a call center as Lila does ;b

    Even if the boss says it’s okay to take the time off, the landlord isn’t going to give you a discount on your rent to make up for the smaller paycheck.

    I was once told to cut my vacation short to come in. I left my wife and kids at a resort without a car so i could come in. I was laid off.

    Try as I might, I could never understand how treating the sick became a political issue. I thought we were supposed to be the greatest and most compassionate nation on earth. Guess they lied to me.
