Considering Intel employees work in cubes that our 4x6 and jammed 5000/building, any infection runs wild in the design community.
Back in the 90’s we had a hard working guy who gave Pneumonia to 10 other co-workers until he was escorted out of the building and told not to come back for a month.
I caught a piece of it and was out for 2 weeks.
Cube life is an incubator for all kinds of disease.
Over my many years in management I have sent many sick individuals home from work and told them not to come back until they get a clean bill of health from a doctor.
Also, I have had massive de-con efforts in cube farms on a routine basis, weekly in some instances.
Well, that certainly ruined his chances for getting a perfect attendance award...
