Come on, be real. That's a cop out

People do what they are going to do. Companies can set policies, managers can do everything they can, but people are going to be people. Sounds like this person was complaining about others doing the same, so understood the issue....but still came in anyway. How would management or corporate support stop that?

Five days from symptom onset, can still be symptomatic ** -- JoesterVT 01/19/2022 8:09PM

That’s a bit of a reach. -- vthokieq 01/19/2022 8:18PM

Of course...just suggesting that further muddying the waters doesn't help ** -- JoesterVT 01/19/2022 8:22PM

Then don’t further help by posting wrong or misleading statements. -- vthokieq 01/19/2022 8:23PM

Management failure. Corporate support failure.** -- Femoyer Hokie 01/19/2022 5:54PM

Who knew they were not feeling well? Did any manager tell them to go home? -- Femoyer Hokie 01/19/2022 6:13PM

You don't know that any of those things are true, yet you made a statement -- Vienna_Hokie 01/19/2022 6:20PM

If it's any consolation, it really doesn't matter...it's too late then -- Vienna_Hokie 01/19/2022 5:52PM

No argument there...my post was mainly just a form of... -- MP4VT2004 01/19/2022 6:50PM

The answer is the same to every question that starts with “why do people”… -- vthokieq 01/19/2022 5:35PM

Because they aren't salaried ** -- bigbadbird 01/19/2022 5:08PM

Uh- i don't know then- you can pretty much work from anywhere now** -- bigbadbird 01/19/2022 5:09PM

Yeah, that's the thing. Really nothing in the way of that. ** -- MP4VT2004 01/19/2022 6:44PM

Some places don't give paid sick leave if you're unvaccinated -- lchoro 01/19/2022 4:33PM

This person is vaccinated. -- MP4VT2004 01/19/2022 5:01PM

You mean they expect a vaccine to.. ya know...vaccinate them? ** -- Vienna_Hokie 01/19/2022 5:06PM

I think they expect that based on how the vaccines were pitched, yes. -- MP4VT2004 01/19/2022 5:08PM

And maybe quit with the mandates since it doesn't stop it from spreading -- Vienna_Hokie 01/19/2022 5:16PM

Agreed. ** -- MP4VT2004 01/19/2022 5:30PM

Some places do. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 01/19/2022 4:52PM

Sick leave? I do know why I never took a sick day. -- Stork 01/19/2022 4:27PM

Are they paid hourly? If so, many come in as they need the check. Even -- coshokie 01/19/2022 4:22PM

No, salary, and our company is small and very lenient with leave. ** -- MP4VT2004 01/19/2022 4:57PM

No excuse then ** -- coshokie 01/19/2022 5:51PM

Luckily I WFH now, full time. So I don't have to deal with the sick at work ** -- coshokie 01/19/2022 4:23PM

I believe it's due to some thinking that defying mandates and lockdowns can -- PhotoHokieNC 01/19/2022 4:18PM
