I'm a DSP who works with people with disabilities in group homes. We had a client test positive for covid. I came down with a fever of 100.1. I texted my boss and told her I don't think it's a good idea for me to come in because I have a low grade fever which is one of the first symptoms of covid.
Her response:
“you need to ask around for someone to cover you I'm not on call today.
and the cut off on fevers is 100.7 by state standards so if coverage cannot be found staff is usually asked to still come in with a mask…
your best bet is to talk to (DSP lead) and get #s from him”
This is a huge fuck you to me, to my coworkers, and to our clients.
