My work has removed CARES hours (special COVID time) a while back and now we have 6 confirmed people at work.
The management claimed they would work with us with not getting points (punishment for unplanned absences) which was obviously a lie and said 6 employees are being forced to come to work or get fired because a lot of us have already used up sick time (because you don't get sick only 5 days a year)
And those who had sick time now need to use it all up and not be able to have it anything for the remainder of the year for other illnesses.
We have multiple people who are immunocompromised themselves or have immunocompromised family not to mention our main customer base are elderly.
So we (they) all get to be put at risk because HR has no sense or compassion.
