If you have no sick days at your job I understand having to come to work - but how about you don't TOUCH every doorknob and office machine in the place.

And if you HAVE sick days - and you are SICK - stay home and spare us all the contagious factor.

Thank You

i agree there....

However, in my job.. I am usually the only employee in the building or not one they can find a replacement for, and since people depend on me.. i have to be there... I just heavily medicate myself and hope I'm coherent on the air for 4 or 5 hours a day! lol

Yeah I had this at one place. I hear you.

Just a quick thought. In my experience this was more a symptom of small companies that Fortune 500's. Did this happen to you at a small or medium sized business?

Seems to me the politics most people thing exists at big companies is actually more present in the small ones! LOL!

Then please just wipe down the hard surfaces others will touch with a Lysol wipe on your way home.

Thanks!

My job is the same way. I was told the only way I could call in sick is if I was in the hospital-otherwise I'd be fired!

One time I did have to work with the flu (that really really sucked)-but I sanitized EVERYTHING-down to Lysol on the telephone buttons. I'm courteous like that.

I hate it when my co workers send me cheesy chain emails, pics of "hot" men in g-strings, or chubby babies in firefighter uniforms via company email-AND MARK THEM AS PRIORITY!!!!

Ugh! I had a former coworker who used to send all sorts of cutesy crap, a dozen or more a day. I finally went to her desk and plopped a stack of work about eight inches high right in front of her and told her that she obviously had plenty of extra time in her day because she was spending so much time sending out junk e-mails, so here was some work to keep her busy.

Never got another non work related e-mail from her.

I work in retail and the thing I hate the most are the stupid obnoxious customers. Especially the people who seem to think they own the place or something. Or the mumblers. And the oblivious folk. >_<

"I have learned to 'say nothing' and 'trust no one"....absolutely

"people in power positions who are either VERY stupid and clueless".....or justifying their existence by being absolute jerks...power mongering morons...a drama dude jerk boy.....today was the last day I had to spend with that putz, my notice to vacate was up today thank god. Fortunately I have another job to go and in an industry I have experienced prior...life is good now.
