i work in food service for background. my coworker texted me sunday and said he was positive for covid so i’ve been prepping myself since to be prepared to be short staffed as the only one up front. fast forward to this morning, i opened and was told he was told to come in or get written up if he didn’t have a doctors note. he explained to bossman that it would cost hundreds of dollars to go to the doctor because he’s inbetween insurance rn, and boss basically said come in or else. i’m so beyond pissed at this, he literally just sacrificed his entire FOH staff and possibly BOH staff, just to be petty because he thought he was lying. like at the very least, when he came in and sounded obviously sick and was hacking and had a fever, you should’ve let him go home…. not to mention the fact that no one can afford taking the 5 day quarantine, also my best friend’s mom has cancer and is severely immunocompromised and could die if i pass it to her and i was at his house when i got the text coworker had covid…. up until recently thought my boss was super cool but i’m over it now and thinking i should start to look for different work. i recommended to coworker if they quit or get fired please call the DoL because i’m pretty sure that’s a fineable offense. i debated texting the boss and telling him my feelings abt it but he really scares me and i’m pretty sure he has beef w me over some bullshit so i didn’t want to push my luck. any advice is tremendously appreciated, im not sure what about this is legal or against labor laws and whatnot
