Absenteeism is a problem in the workplace, but so is presenteeism. That’s when people who should stay home to nurse a cold or flu insist on coming in to work, risking a turn for the worse or infecting everyone around them. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Presenteeism”
Grant, you probably know this slang term, but it was new to me.
Presenteeism.
Can’t stand it.
I know.
When people are practically vomiting and they come to work anyway, I’m so indispensable that I had to be here and infect the rest of you.
You have to strike a balance.
Times are tough economically, but, you know, if you don’t have to be there, stay home.
Yeah.
No presenteeism.
Thanks.
