Can I file a complaint with HR since our admin came in with the flu?

[Anonymous]

I guess she's out of leave. I don't want her infecting the whole office! What can I do, legally? My company is in VA. Thanks.

Well, Buttercup, I would suggest you lighten up.

Don't be dumb, OP. You can't do anything legally. Have some empathy for the woman who would rather be at home with the flu.

You cannot be serious.

Legally? Nothing.

Do you really want your admin (low paid already) to use LWOP to recover? Why not allow her to telework?

[Anonymous]

Perhaps you can use your extensive influence with the HR department to lobby for more realistic sick leave policies.

Legally, you can wash your hands a lot, sanitize surfaces and encourage others to do the same.

Perhaps you should just arrange to work at home full time, Howard.

Donate sick leave to her if you have extra so she can stay home.

You can ask HR if you can donate two days of YOUR sick leave to someone who has no more, so she can go home sick.

Wash your hands. Stop being a bitch.

Better yet, file a police report for assault by virus.

This sounds like a hostile working environment.

I am all for her teleworking, but her boss (the one who signs her timesheet) won't allow it.

Really? she used up all her sick and vacation leave cavorting with her fiancé. I drag my tired ass in here instead of staying home. Why should she get one minute of my hard saved leave?

I hope you get the flu.

She had 19 days of leave. She used it all up on vacation, didn't save any for sick leave. How is that the fault of those of us who are more prudent and don't want her getting us sick?
