What? Are the democrats against personal responsibility?
Here’s a great idea to stop or slow the spread of sickness.
Sick people need to stay home.
It would take care of over 90% of the problem I’m sure.
My sister works for a woman who is adamant about people staying home while they are sick. They can work from home if need be, but she simply does not want a sick person in the office spreading the germs and compromising everyone else.
Then the entire office ends up sick and productivity is way down.
The sick person is not going to be terribly productive in the office anyways, so working from home is no loss that way, and IMO, is actually likely to be more productive as they can take breaks and rest as needed.
Sick people need to stay home.
For generations we have incentivized going to school and work while sick as somehow being virtuous.
We need to eliminate school "perfect attendance" awards.
Stop lumping sick leave and vacation leave together into one PTO pool
Stop dinging employees on evaluations for using earned sick leave.
Start DISCIPLINING employees for coming to work while sick.
