Answer: Go to work sick

Clues: “Desk” and “Cough”

In a survey, 86% of people say they feel concerned about their own health when a coworker comes to work visibly sick.

And 42% admit that their relationship with a coworker would be “negatively affected” if that person knowingly showed up sick.  64% of those people say they consider it selfish if someone shows up to work sick.

Younger people are more likely to feel this way.

And naturally, the pandemic had a big effect.  57% say their “expectations of others changed since then,” when it became clear that some people cared a lot about not getting those around them sick, and others not so much.
