You can't get sick
What job do you have where youβre not allowed to take care of your health when necessary?
You've genuinely never seen a job promote their "5 sick days a year" BS like it was generous lol? You also must not work construction. Being sick in construction means even your co-workers will be mad at you, for some reason.
Lineman for a major telecommunications corporation. Just tested positive for covid. The unspoken rule is show up, if you are dead they may send you home. Got lucky since I actually interact with the public. Sent pic of the positive test to manager. Don't know what is going to happen.
Yes murica
Not surprised at all. Companies love to offload their losses to everyone else. If you come in regardless, they don't lose the value your work brings them, while their sick employees spread their crap to everyone and costs society thousands in perfectly avoidable healthcare costs.
