I have always thought people who go to work sick were assholes and with such a sense of entitlement. They think they are so important that not taking off some sick days is worth getting potentially several other people in the office who might take off sick days sick (that would be me because I tend to be just miserable and pretty worthless for anything when sick). Yea buddy you and your few days work you might miss, are just that much more important than everyone else.

I never thought of masks to protect myself when dealing with such assholes though. Now I know.

I have to disagree with you here. I have worked at jobs where there were no sicks days. If you stayed out sick, you didn't get paid. Plus, after three days, you would need a doctor's note for work - another expense when income is already being limited. I have gone to work when mildly sick, but always made it known that I wasn't feeling 100% and and stayed away from other people (as best as possible).

So, no, it's not always a "sense of entitlement", but more a sense of survival.
