At this point in the American workplace, you're expected to come in to work when you're sick. "Sick days" have all but been eliminated, and you're only supposed to call in if you're on your death bed.
So everyone comes in while they're sick, sneezing and coughing all over the place, and it infects the entire office. I'm going through it now and it really sucks. I'm sick because my boss was sick and now everyone else around me is sick. If we didn't have this culture where we're expected to come in sick, it wouldn't need to be passed around to everyone like this. --- Watch out for snakes! ... Copied to Clipboard!

At my last job, they completely eliminated sick days as their own thing. They combined it with personal days, deaths in the family, what have you. So what does that do? It encourages no sick days! At my current job, we don't have a set number of sick days. They tell us to just take them as needed, and they've never had a problem with it before. Which means what? That it's not encouraged, and if you take too many days, they talk to you about you becoming a problem. --- Watch out for snakes! ... Copied to Clipboard!

My boss is the opposite. You don't come in sick. He'll keep his distance and throw shit at you if you show up sick until you leave.

They encourage people to take sick days no questions asked. If you come to work sick pretty much everyone is like "go home and get better" Also most people can VPN and remote work, handle emails, paperwork, etc... --- We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise.

My office strongly encourages people not to come in if they are sick. You also don't use any sort of personal days. As long as you don't abuse it no one has an issue.

The bigger problem is that we've become so dang afraid of germs and discomfort that we've castrated our immune systems. If somebody comes in to work with a cough, suddenly the whole office has a cough because their pitiful immune systems can't handle.something so simple.

Yeah, got no sick days as well, only personal days, and the new stupid system has it so that if we are sick, we have to retroactively request for time off in a really weird ass way.

Yep. I got the surgical mask and hand sanitizer at my desk for this exact reason I actually got written up at a previous job for wearing one of those around when I got sick. As the manager of a foodservice establishment in a popular tourist destination, I preferred not to get my own workers sick, and especially not guests. Higher ups came to visit and asked why I had the mask on, proceeded to write me up because "we'd rather you actually get people sick than have people perceive that there are sick people here." I mean, I think people would rather see me with the mask on than hear me with almost no voice left as I try to talk to them. Oh yes, and calling out sick, while not "against the rules" per se, can still be used against you later should higher ups/HR decide to try and justify further write-ups/termination. --- RIP TurboAE86 (19XX-2017) - No amount of Scrotal Googling could find him peace in this mortal world.

How sick is enough to stay home? this. having a cold lasts like 5-10 days for me. Do I stay home all the time? Pretty sure you're contagious throughout too. What if I get it twice a year? that's like 2 weeks vacation to either absorb in my vacation days or take on top of them. Both are unacceptable. Plus everytime I got sick within the last years was when I went out and got shitfaced, coincidentally. Not worth making people skip 1 week of work only for everyone to get sick from commuting anyway ... Copied to Clipboard!
