[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why we haven’t learned from covid that unreasonable quarantines don’t work. An asymptotic, working parent is not going to isolate for 21 days. [/quote]

Let's be real: there are not many people who can afford to miss work for that many days. Hell, I have 160 hours of PTO each year and even I would have to switch to LWOP if I had to quarantine for 21 days.

I was a server all through college and grad school and trust me, your servers are working while sick. Why? Because missing 1 shift could be the difference in paying rent that month. Also, if you can't get anyone to cover for you and you miss a shift, you are a no call, no show, and knocked to the bottom of the scheduling rotation. That means you're going to get scheduled for the worst shifts or not scheduled at all for weeks.

I can remember working so many shifts with the flu or stomach bug. I can remember working at a high end restaurant one time where the chef was so sick he sat on an upside-down bucket the whole night with another empty barf bucket next to him while approving dishes before they went out. [/quote]

+1 This is real. Restaurant industry needs PTO reform BADLY. It's criminal, and a public health issue.[/quote]
