The one common denominator I see in people with a good work ethic is they want to do good and work hard not only for themselves but for their co-workers.
In the summer in particular it is so easy to want to call in sick just to give yourself a break. The biggest reason why those that "care" do not is because they know that if they do not show up that others will suffer. Their co-workers will have to work that much harder.
More then anything else that is what drivers them to come in on days that they would just rather head to the beach-"stress free".
I have had employees that always seem to get sick on Mondays and Fridays- nice way to extend the weekend.
Those employees never seem to make a home or a career.
They just do not get it.
Yea, you may be relaxing somewhere but back at work others will need to fill in for you and not only do their job but do yours also.......I ask you - is that fair?
I have a young lady who works in our registration department and she has been with Arpin over 26 years and has never missed a day in the summer. She is here for her co-workers. She recently was sick and her doctor had to force her to stay home. When she called in you could tell she was in pain but she mostly was worried and concerned about the people that she works with. She knows that it is one of busiest times of the year and although she was in pain her pain for her friends at work was also there.
Why do we good workers do what hey do? Sacrifice and work hard?
Just for each other as much as for themselves.
