STOP COMING IN SICK

[Anonymous]

Have some fun with your coworkers. If there is food like donuts or whatever in break room, walk around holding one saying you had to poke around but found your favorite. Add that you're hungry even though family has norovirus and you've been pooping a lot yourself. Then walk away. Works best if they have already eaten some.

Obviously don't eat it your self.

Most employers have switched to PTO, and basically any sick time is burning vacation time.

Part of doing your job and performing is balancing that with sick leave.

Eh. I get 12 days of PTO and 9 holidays with two kids and no work from home. You get what you get from me.

Exactly right. If they want to give us telework, I’d stay home.

if you are that fragile and need more feel free to go on disability or without pay

No need. The PP can just go to work, sick, and do their best.

Its against the work policy to come in sick, you need to take time off. also note caring for children is pto not sick time, you can hire a nanny.

No. I’ll be there - you can deal.

I hope you get reported and sent home. When My coworker bragged about coming in sick with COVID, I very much reported him to our boss and our boss demanded that he go home. If you haven't learned how to live in a society yet, I'm happy to teach you.

Where do you work that is such a nanny state? Most places do not care that people are sick. They care that work is done when the boss wants it done.

Exactly, so working from home when sick should not be a problem, right?

Not if you can’t work from home.

So I’m seriously asking, if you truly feel your workplace is fine with people working from home as much as they need, why do you think people are coming in when sick?

It’s just really hard for me to believe that people are coming in sick if they feel no pressure to

Honestly, when she said "I guess I'm breaking the rules, haha!" I would have straight up deadpanned. "Yeah, and it's really rude. I don't want your germs, you should go home."

Cold as ice, no laughing it off. At least make her squirm.

Professional worker's tasks just pile up if they don't work. Sure, they might have lots of leave, but they'll never finish all their work if they take it.

Shift workers often don't have that issue, but they're less likely to have plenty of leave or the ability to telework.

Why have you all turned this thread into something it's not?

It's not about shift workers, it's not about professional workers' with no telework or PTO. It's about professional workers with the option to work from home NOT staying home when sick.

I know you probably think you understand other people's jobs better than they do, but the reality is that you don't. You don't know what things they have to do, or what the impact would be of attempting to do it from home versus the office.

All other things being equal, most people would probably refer to telework if they're not feeling great. But its often more complicated than that, whether you want to admit it or not.

What do you do that’s so important that you cannot take off when sick? Outside of court, nothing. A doctor should take off and not get their patients sick.

If you really believe it is that simple, then I don't even know what to say. But you must frequently be confused by the decisions of others.

Think about that again but remove illness from the equation. Why do you think some people go in to work even when/if they're allowed to telework?

Different people will have different reasons.

Cool. I have five days of sick leave and 10 vacation days. If I take off for every sniffle I'll be out of those days in January. Some people don't live in the real world.

Yeah I’m coming in sick unless I literally cannot. Not wasting my limited telework on that. In fairness, I will wear a mask.

DP but yeah, it is kind of confusing how an adult with the option to telework insists on coming in sick.

Exactly. These posters are just selfish morons with a main character syndrome.

Yup. No one is talking about people with jobs without good leave policies. But these "professionals" are just so convinced of their own unbelievable importance that they must make everyone else sick. What a bunch of as*hats.

You can really can think of any reasons besides coercion? Really? What sort of job do you have?

Are you this dramatic in your daily life? Someone commits an etiquette faux-pas and your assumption is that they were coerced rather than they're just rude?

Lmfao. "Coercion." Like they're a sorority girl whose boyfriend is trying to get them to come upstairs after the mixer. Give me a break.

If you don't think coercion is the reason, then why do you think people go in to work? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make or what you claim to be confused about.
