American workers still feel pressured to work while sick - Business Insider

But what are some of the motives behind the American workforces' inability to just take a sick day? They feel pressured to go to work, according to a new study.conducted with Robitussin found that 78% of employed respondents said they felt pressured to power through a workday when they were feeling sick due to the stress that comes with calling out sick.

The survey, which polled 2,000 Americans, found that 42% of respondents said the stress from attempting to call out created a mental wall from them being able to take a day. That's probably why 69% of respondents said that a bad cough wasn't a valid reason for them to stay home from work — due to one in three fearing their boss wouldn't consider it a valid reason to stay home from work either.

Going to work sick might seem like a necessity in some places due to the fear of falling behind on work and being out of the loop for a few days, but your coworkers would appreciate it if you just stayed home. Eighty-two percent of respondents said they'd be annoying if someone showed up to work at the office with just a cough. If that number isn't enough of a warning sign, consider this: Four in 10 respondents said they'd prefer to take on extra work than deal with a sick coworker.

While it's basically impossible to avoid getting sick, Americans would give up just about anything including vacation time , social media , their favorite food , sleeping in on weekends , and their favorite TV show to do so.Showing up to work sick and sending sick kids to school ranked as the most stressful situations.2. Sending kids to school knowing they’re sick: 44%4.
