If you want to hold a steady job, you can’t afford to be sick. If you want to climb the corporate ladder,you can’t afford to be sick. And if you don’t have good health coverage, you certainly can’t afford to be sick In these demanding, competitive, capitalistic waters that we’re all treading, a perfect attendance record is one of the keys to staying afloat. That’s because perfect attendance means you’re dedicated to your job. It means you don’t make excuses. It means you’re making sacrifices for the 'good of the company'. Sometimes we sacrifice our health (not to mention our mental stability) for the good of the company. Working weekends and holidays, or long hours that cut into much needed sleep time.
Sure, some people’s bodies have a higher tolerance for these dangerous side effects of the corporate climb, but at some point, mentally or physically, things are bound to catch up..But what happens when the go-getter employee becomes sick?  Any way you slice it, in our career-driven society, you just cannot afford to be sick.isnt it true ?? My company deserted me when i was diagnosed for AN , for 6 months i was not paid except the insurance taken care of ...It forced me to spring back to normal life fater and search for a new Job . Its since 1 year that iam in this new company and people still find it hard to work with the limitations that the AN surgery left me ie a Deaf ear and Facial Paralysis ....
I pray to grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.
