YOU SHOULDN'T BE EXPECTED TO COME IN WITH A COLD EITHER WHAT THE FUCK?

This shit is why I'm always SICK in the FIRST PLACE.

Give your boss COVID if you can.

The US has to be destroyed.

"OK, but I work in your office the whole time"

If you see our company policy we treat it like a cold now

The standard response to this should be "I too love killing my grandparents for profits"

"Hey boss, I just wanted to talk to you about our COVID policy. Mind if I step inside your office?"

COUGH COUGH COUGH SNEEZE COUGH

That's the unfortunate reality of the corporate overlord structure we've been living in for a while. If you're financially strapped and must go in, inform your coworkers ahead of time so they can arrange their working space to be away from you (and also let them know their company policy is compelling you to come in). Double mask and eat your lunch away and outside the office if possible. Bring your own sanitizers.

I've had coworkers in this same situation and I don't begrudge them for coming in under similar circumstances so long as they took personal precautions to minimize potential spread.

Hope you feel better soon.

The lesson bosses learned from covid is to never make accommodations for the health and safety of the workers.

If I called in a substitute, it's expected to be a one time thing, where even a few days in a row is an eyebrow raiser for the district.

Basically nothing changed from covid. "Oh sorry you have covid symptoms. See you tomorrow!"

we treat it like a cold now

Absolutely absurd. I have no clue how people have managed to just stop giving a shit about it. I've maintained the policy in my class that if you're sick do not come in, I'll give you an extension on any work and work with you to get it done. So far I've managed to have limited class room spread. I remember back in August/September 2021 I had 1/3 of my students catch COVID during that wave, I was basically quarantined at home from my wife in case I got it.

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS in our company policy we treat covid19 like a cold now. No paid time off. That is all.

Spit in his face

Simply redacted your boss

my sincere reaction to this information

go in and spit into his mouth. then quit

also i'm sorry this happened to you. i hope one day the people responsible are held to account

May he fall into a woodchipper

Cough and lick anything he might touch with his hands.

Become the chosen of nurgle. Just come in, ask to have a word with your boss privately

Time to tongue punch management

At my old job at the after school program I got shamed and pressured about calling in sick and yaknow what? Sometimes it really was just because i couldnt handle work with my mental health that day. When I was trying to interview to come back to work after my boss's bullying got me partially hospitalized they mentioned "you do kind of call out a lot..." and I really wanted to be like "thats my secret captain, when you're mentally ill you're ALWAYS sick" but I didnt.

But seriously like. I worked with CHILDREN. Why would you want to force someone who doesnt feel like they can work that day to work with CHILDREN. Even if its not an infectious disease they could catch. If I say Im too depressed to work that day, you probably dont want me around kids right? This seems obvious to me...

What were your symptoms like?
