Two weeks ago he left early because he felt bad. He was out for less than a week and came back to work, complaining how his wife had him quarantined in the basement and how the guy doing his job was not doing a good job. He also has a need to micromanage us and probably thinks the building will fall down without him being here.
So, he came back for a week and left early last Friday looking like death warned over. Thanks to him having no concept of personal space nor the self awareness to wear a mask when feeling bad, half of our eight person sub-department is now out with covid and I am beginning to not feel so hot.
Thanks Lead, we are knee deep into Christmas party season and you decimated your department because you couldn't sit at home and trust us to get our work done.
