Back in the day I would go to work with severe flu like symptoms. My company championed heroics and I could get points for showing up on "deaths door" reporting to duty. Of course, a few hours in a manager would notice and they would send me home. If you just called in sick, however, "people would talk." Crazy to think about that in the lens of 2024!
