Because people use their sick time to stay at home and baby their sick children and then decide they've taken too much time off and don't want to use their sick time on themselves. And then they bring their brat's disease into the office.
Edit: And in other places, it's because they don't
give their employees any sick time, and people can't afford to call off or -- in some cases --
can't call off without being fired.
