When some remote workers get sick, they decide to log on for work anyway.
Research says workers think they'll feel guilty if they take off; they feel more guilty for working.
Workers need to feel comfortable deciding to take time off, and feel comfortable articulating those boundaries.
The problem is, Gerpott said, that "human beings are very bad at predicting how they will actually feel."
Instead, workers feel more guilty — because they couldn't help their colleagues or themselves very well.
