If you’re sick, there’s no shame in working at home or taking the day off to recover. It’s likely that any work you try to get done at the office when sick will be sub-par and therefore a waste of time and energy. Furthermore, nobody at your office wants to be around somebody that’s sick. Everyone would prefer that you stay home until you feel better or aren’t contagious.

This way, they don’t have to hear you sniffling and coughing, and there is less of a chance of them getting sick themselves. It shows respect for you co-workers’ space and health if you know when it’s no longer appropriate to be at work.
