Where it comes from
From presentee + -ism, after absenteeism, coined by academic Cary Cooper.

- The fact of being present at work, especially if one is too sick to be productive, or working beyond the expected hours. Research shows that presenteeism, apart from the obvious danger of contamination of other workers, can lead to longer absence from work later on.
