The onus is on employees to "feel insecure" and take extended work-from-home time, instead of being the default position that one can opt out of.
In practice, that means most don't exercise that option and those who do for any real length of time take a career hit (unknowingly).
- anonymous1457 7y agoActually I'm going to work the whole next week at home and most of my team mates will do the same even though we don't really feel unsafe at work compared to anywhere else. Given the current situation I'd say that you probably have more chances to contract the virus when taking public transport or going to public spots/events than I have at work :-)
- koheripbal 7y agoStatistically speaking, that's probably not quite true. It's hard to say without more details, but I suspect there are more people in that office that are infected. Are they decontaminating the office? How many emps are there in the Zurich office?
- ddalex 7y agoThis isn't the US, this is Europe where employees have rights such as sick days, and they use them, so somebody having an absence from the office due to health reasons is pretty common - certainly not special in any sense to get a career hit out of it.
