That's not his problem. The company shouldn't be running on a skeleton crew. I imagine he didn't choose to be sick for those 40 days?
Well said. People don’t seem to understand that running at 100% capacity and workload is not the natural state of things. Humans aren’t machines (and even mining rigs and other machining equipment don’t chug at 100%, more like 70% as to not reduce lifespan)
Just because you can work with multiple employees being absent does not mean you should be keeping that status quo and not hire more people to alleviate the burden on the team.
"More like 70 percent as to not reduce lifespan"
Lifespan doesn't matter, it's total output from the input. Machines generally are run at 100 percent (whatever that is), because it is the most efficient.
It was always on a Friday or Monday coincidentally.
The problem is that you've bought in that the company's problems are yours. They want you to feel like it's your problem, your responsibility so you take on the extra work for free instead of hiring someone else.
Do you get a bonus based on the company's profits? For what reason might you have to care that 'the work gets done'?
I've worked in places that try to nurture that "we're all in this together" mentality but it's never time for them to pitch in for you. They only foster this to get you to do free labor.
so remember: your fellow's work habits are none of your business, eh?
