Are these new job policies fucked?

I work at a toxic company that is built on micromanagement, narcissism, and leaders flying off the handle. I am in the final rounds of interviews and hoping to get out soon. For context: the company gives 5 sick days in a very high-COVID rate location. New policies include: – must request sick days in advance – if you are feeling sick or exposed to COVID, you have to use sick days and can’t work remotely. Some people wake up feeling slightly ill but can/want to/need to still work so they’d work remote those days, but now that’s not allowed. – no exceptions must be in office 3 days (I was given a valid acception but now that has been revoked and it shows that they do not care about my well-being whatsoever) – YOU MUST MAKE DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS ONLY ON REMOTE DAYS OR USE A SICK DAY IF ON…

– YOU MUST MAKE DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS ONLY ON REMOTE DAYS OR USE A SICK DAY IF ON A NON REMOTE DAY (bruh I have chronic conditions and my doctors are in office on our in-office days….)

And then they specifically, passive aggressively targeted people’s situations which was embarrassing to them.

I feel it is very un-inclusive, speaking as a person who has chronic health conditions where I have on some occasions had to work remote certain days suddenly. This is not in my head that it’s fucked micromanagement, right?
