Current Events > Friend is positive for covid but plans to work from home. Smh

(+) Yeah! (+)

Told him to just freakin take his sick leave and relax like he should and not worry about work. He is even symptomatic and feeling like crap today. More than enough sick leave.
Not in a really higher up manager position or anything either.

Is it just me or ever since the pandemic, people who are able to work from home, work from home when they are sick instead of actually using sick leave?
Seems stupid. Seems like too many people get scared about getting behind at work instead of knowing it will still be there when they come back and other coworkers can help if needed.

Back in my day, we hate going to work and would take any possible excuse to get out of it. Especially if we were really sick.

But then again, im a nurse and never really had an option to work from home.

You can take the employee out of the neurotic overworked office environment, but you cant take the neurotic overworked office environment out of the employee.

True. My wife did the same thing too which was annnoying.

Yeah.. Im 100% WFH and am in a higher position, but you better believe if Im feeling like crap, Im laying down and resting. Especially if I have a headache. Im of no use to anyone if my head is pounding and my brain is scrambled.
