He said a day, not a week. And anyone who asks people with fevers to come to work is making a big mistake.* You're not allowed to send kids with fevers to daycare for good reason.
* Barring true "all hands on deck, no matter what" scenarios.
- xigency 11y ago"all hands on deck, no matter what" is business as usual at a number of places.
- hyperpape 11y agoI'm aware that places act like that. Fuck 'em. Barring places that have safety critical requirements for a certain number of staff on hand or something similar, if you can't accommodate sick days, I can't be bothered to hope you stay in business. I'm not even asking them to be altruistic. If you have people with a fever in the office, they're likely to do shitty work and get someone else sick. It's not even good for the bottom line.
- Lazare 11y ago> I then went home, and was sick for the rest of the week. I was then asked for a doctor’s certificate “for HR purpose”. Sounds like the doctor's certificate was for taking the rest of the week off. In any case, I agree completely about asking him to come in anyhow; it's just weird that it didn't seem to be the focus of the story.
- hyperpape 11y agoYou're right. I don't know how I misread that. If he was out for a whole week, instead of a day or two, I definitely see where the doctor's note could be expected.
