Do you go to work even when you're not feeling well?

If you do, you're not alone. A survey of workers in the US has found that 9% of people never take sick days.

Some said that's just because they don't get sick very often. But others said pressure at work makes them less likely to take sick days.

And some part-time workers said they feel financial pressure to go to work even when they aren't feeling well — because they need the money!

Yahoo News and YouGov surveyed almost 1,500 US adults — although only about half of them were actually workers, so the other half weren't able to comment.

About 16% said they take one or two sick days a year. Twelve percent said they take "a few" days, and 4% said they take "more than a few" days.

Another 3% of people said they don't have the option to take sick days where they work.

But how do your colleagues feel when you take a sick day — or when you go in to work even when you're not well?

More than one-third of people said they prefer their colleagues to stay at home if they're sick. But 5% said people should work even when they're sick.

However, only 7% of people said they always believe their colleagues really are sick when they have a day off!

Experts told Yahoo News that going to work when you're unwell isn't a sign of commitment, however — they said it just shows you're disrespecting yourself and your body.

Almost One Tenth of US Workers Never Take Sick Days

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
おととい、昨日と日本は台風の影響がありました。

私は昨日の夜、飛行機に乗りました。
北海道の空港の近くが暴風域、風が強いところ、に入ったので、飛行機が欠航、とばないこと、になるか心配でした。
ですが、飛行機は飛びました。
風が強かったので、飛行機はとても揺れました。
ガタガタと長い時間揺れていました。
何度も飛行機に乗ったことがありますが、今までで1番揺れていたかもしれません。少し怖かったです。

それでも飛行機はそのまま飛び、２時間後、無事大阪につきました。

天候がある程度予測できる時代になったとはいえ、ほぼ時間通りに着く飛行機の正確さと、飛行機を操縦する機長のスキルは素晴らしいですね。

昨日はそんなことを考えた1日でした。
みなさんの国の飛行機に乗る時はどうですか？
ぜひお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
