Sentence: Peter was well on his way to becoming Germployee of the Month. He regularly came in to work, when he should have stayed in his sick bed. The more contagious he was, the more hours he would expose his co-workers to his nasty virulent bacterium. If he just once stayed home when he felt this way, office absenteeism would plummet. His new nickname was Peter Pandemic.

Etymology: Germ (a minute life form (especially a disease-causing bacterium) & Employee (a worker who is hired to perform a job)
