I’ve been working my first office job since covid hit and they like to think of themselves as a progressive company but there is no sick time separate from PTO. I would say about 15-20 people have come in the office sick in the last month or so. I finally got sick and have no PTO to use so that’s great. Either I can dip into the negative or force myself to come in and risk getting others sick, perpetuating the cycle.
Also this company is strongly against remote work and wants everyone to gather in the (small) cafeteria for lunch everyday, spreading germs and breathing on each other. It’s not even cold outside yet so I’m sure this winter will go great.
