I want to make a good 1st impression but I have flu. What do I do? Do I go or do I stay at home and fully recover first?

My former job used to make me come in no matter how sick I was. As my manager once told me, "Pop some pills and put a smile on your face!" I once even had to come in when I had the stomach flu and had been throwing up all morning. Needless to say, I wasn't very productive at work.
I would suggest that you stay home for a day or two to rest, then if you're feeling better, go to work. If you're still really sick, then make sure to get a doctor's note.

Definately go to work. If you take the day off because they don't know you they will think the worst. On the other hand if you go to work and they see that you are sick they will probably tell you to go home and not infect the remaining staff. At least this way you will probably get your day off without upsetting the boss. Hope you're feeling better soon....

take 500 mg of Vitamin C every 3-4 hours and you will feel better in a couple of HOURS not days an ddrink 75 oz of water a day as well

Probably if I just started I would go in if I could possibly do so. If your running like 103 or throwing up stay home!

u must show ur boss that ur work is very important, and u could do anything to complete it... even going sick to work... bad time for a flu though... ur workmates wont get sick just because of u...
my advice, go to work so u get the money to help u get better...

I think you should find something to get yourself going and get to work. Otherwise go to a doctor and get a note, or you may not have a job to go to when you feel better.

Stay home and spare your new co-workers from getting sick.
As a boss, I would be more irritated if my new hire made me sick. Everyone gets sick, they should understand.

You should only drag yourself to work if you work in drag. Hope this helps!

It is a NEW job and they do not know you.
GO TO WORK - LET THEM SEE YOU - and have THEM suggest you go home.
