My sister went into the office yesterday. Her coworker, who is at a much senior position, hung around her all evening. The coworker texted my sister that night informing her that she tested positive for covid.
My sister and I live with my immunocompromised parents. My dad and mom caught covid a couple months ago and it completely destroyed my dad to a point where he was bed ridden. After months of physio he is finally gaining the strength to walk on his own again. They have now also been exposed again to the virus.
Now I understand accidents happen, however this coworker was taking care of her sisters over the weekend who had covid. Didn’t disclose that information and still came into the office. She justifies her behaviour that she was “testing every day” when I feel she should have not even come into work for at least 5 days and worked from home.
I’m so upset because this could potentially be a devastating hit to my family, especially my dad. When confronted about her behaviour the co worker doubled down and said “everyone was going to catch it you can’t let covid rule your life”
Is the co-worker wrong in how she went about this? If so, what are my sisters options to complain to HR or corporate?
