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.
Yes and also—eliminate change fees from the airlines when people change flights. Many already have, and I hope it stays.
Change fees just incentivizes people traveling when they are sick.
Preach it!
It is NOT virtuous to work while sick.
It’s rude and inconsiderate to deliberately act in such a way as to expose others to an illness that will compromise them.
