LOL, good advice!
The sionnsareens got their food-server certificates this morning. One of the requirements is that if you're not well, DO NOT show up for work. A bit different from my employer's old PTO policy that lumped sick and vacation time into a single pool; encouraged folks to show up if they were "marginal." (Don't have that anymore, but the workload today encourages the same result...)
Luckily, I was never in food service. However, I think they are wise to defer showing up for work if they are “marginal.”
I loathe walking into a clinic, hearing someone sniff and announce very nasally that they are “suffering from allergies.” That’s my cue to say, “Can I reschedule my appointment for a day when the clinic isn’t SICK?”
