It’s the start of flu season. So go get your flu shot or one of your co-workers MIGHT get you sick! A new poll found just under 90% us go to work with cold or flu symptoms at least some of the time. Including a full third who said they ALWAYS do, no matter how sick they are. Only 11% of us never go to work with cold or flu symptoms.
The #1 reason we show up sick is we feel like there’s just too much work to do. 54% of people in the survey said that’s one of the reasons they still go in.
The study also looked at the cities where people are most likely to show up to work sick. Charlotte and Miami tied for first. 96% of people said they go in with symptoms at least sometimes. The rest of the top five are Austin, Chicago, and Cincinnati.
