DNCTWS: Do NOT Come to Work Sick!

Please, Do Not Come to Work Sick! ...and thank you.

We get it already! You are trying to show your boss or your boss' boss that you have tremendously strong work ethic.

I get it! You want to make sure that everyone knows how much you value your job by sitting at a desk with noses full of tissue (I'm serious!), mouths full of funky breath, and a raspy voice that only a mother could love.

But here's the thing: When you walk through the door, 9 times outta 10, you've already made up in your mind that you ain't doin not a goddamn thing all day long and you let everyone know that up front when they start asking you to...gasp...do actual work and ish.

If that's the case, 9 times outta 10, lower and middle management has then already put you the "list" and you've only harmed your reputation with the bosses. Why the hell should they pay for you to sit you ass up in the office and watch youtube clips and read the blogs all day long?

In light of the economy, I' can be lenient and just post a few of my pet peeves with sick people coming to work when their illness CLEARLY impairs their ability to do their jobs all day. If you fit these bills, please DNCTWS:

1) Receptionists who have "lost their voices"

2) Fast food workers with runny noses

3) Social service workers with any types of colds

4) Generally triflin' ass people who don't do shit at work anyway when they're healthy and then want to come to work to prove you're sick and get sympathy only to have someone cover for you and you didn't even take the time to wipe down your work area with Clorox Wipes or spray with Lysol and then that person comes in and catches whatever the fvck you had and now, because he/she is considerate, they have to miss out on going to see Madea Goes to Jail to prevent further spread of this infection and maybe lose $$$ if it's not cleared up with Nyquil by the weekend.

Speaking for those who are victims of #4, I'll ask one more time- PLEASE, DNCTWS!

<3 Be kind to your co-workers <3
