A survey of 2,800 office employees reveals that 90 percent have gone to work sick at least once, with millennials the most likely to never miss a work day because of illness.
commissioned by staffing agency Accountemps reveals that a vast majority of American workers have come to the workplace with cold and flu symptoms—and millennials are the most likely to not take a sick day.
The study surveyed 2,800 office employees aged 18 or older across 28 U.S. cities. Nine out of 10 reported they came in to their jobs while ill at least once. Of that 90 percent of respondents who came into work sick, 33 percent said they always show up and never take a sick day. When the demographics are broken down, millennials are significantly more likely to fall in that cohort.
Thirty-nine percent of employees aged 25 to 40 reported coming to work sick every time they felt symptoms. The group least likely to report always showing up sick was Generation X, at 26 percent. The primary reason given for coming into work sick was that the respondent had too much work to do, followed by not wanting to use up a sick day. Pressure from employers to show up came in third.
