No, but whatever industry you work in and whoever your employer is, they should have enough staff to cover minor illnesses and absenses. If you are off sick and your company misses a court deadline thats on your companies poor staff management, not on you for being ill and staying home to avoid infecting coworkers.

Business isn’t always steady so it’s not tenable to have too many people onboard. Although we are hiring. It’s just hard to find experienced software engineers who can communicate with lawyers and are willing to do things like code inspections with nothing but a pad and pen. You certainly won’t be living the Googler lifestyle but it is way more meaningful, energizing and sociable.
