"Oi, Typhoid Mary! You are paying National Insurance and wasting it. Do you know why? Because people marched and protested for decades, got beaten by Police, shot down by dragoons but did it so you would have the right to stay home sick. That's right, people DIED so you wouldn't have to be here. Your employer is paying Employer's National Insurance. Do you know why? So you can stay at home and stop sabotaging production. Also, because you are working too slowly to be useful and what you are doing will be wrong because you are not up to making decisions. And did you know your colleagues are taking the p!iss out of you behind your back for being a martyr? And if I go down sick with what YOU've got, I shall be invoicing for the time off and putting YOUR name on the invoice. So why not go home now before I put in a complaint to your management about your behaviour."
Think I'm kidding? I've been using that speech for over 10 years and it works.

Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostI know we have done this, but someone in this department sounds like they have whooping cough, they have come in through the snottiest part of this virus, constantly sound like they are barfing up a lung and have so far spread it to about 5 people. What exactly is so important that it's worth laying up half of the department? Even their manager told them to go home, but no they soldier on with spreading the epidemic. They are not even a contractor, so no financial excuses.
Grrrr
