Funny thing is he did go to work like immediately after going into surgery, he did not even get a full sick day nor a day off for the loss of a spouse and kids (he thought they all died).

I'll come to work so that someone else doesn't suffer. Don't be selfish

Someone at work got me sick the other week and I suffered. Stay home if you're sick.

That's a good point. However I see a lot of younger people calling out sick when they aren't really sick

It goes both ways, if a company treats their employees like shit they get more sick days, then they start firing people and the downward spiral continues.

It's a good sign, the young people have seen their parents being put through the grinder and some think No more!

That's very selfish of them. They are lazy and can't stand the thought of hard honest work. I don't expect people to do that there whole lives but when you are younger it builds character.

Then show me a company providing some hard honest work with a livable wage, full pension and care and a good boss, and you will find some happy workers.

If you give people pennies and kick them around and somehow believe they will love the hard honest work?

No, management needs to hire more people. One cannot hire for only a skeleton crew and expect things to always go as planned. People get sick, life happens.

If the minimum number of people to run a department is 3 people, you cannot have just three people hired on at any time. What about sick time and vacations, something that is needed for happy, healthy, productive workers? I would far prefer 5-7 people. We can survive with three people and it will happen, but when we have more people in at the same time, we can catch up on other stuff too.

When I was in management and so many people had to call out, I did not turn the screws on them and blame them for the poor performance of the day due to understaffing. I blamed my manager for not allowing me to hire more people I had begged for, for quite some time. This is where the blame should go.

Taking care of yourself is not lazy or selfish, such as recovering from illness or needing some time off. Reaping the lion's share of the output of someone while demanding even more from them is. Don't let those in power distract you from their own greedy bad behavior.

If you're not in management then staffing failures aren't your responsibility. If you think that's "selfish" then you have no idea how business works.
