well, i worked at a grocery dist center for 12 years and my job was physical. I hurt my back one weekend at home. I for sure couldn't have went to work and slung 50lb items for 10 hours. But i ended up going to a Baseball game that night. My supervisor tried to call me out on it. It blew my mind he couldn't comprhend the difference in manual labor for 10 hours and sitting in a chair for 3 hours (which is what i would i did most of that day already). Had i gone to work, i wouldn't have been able to pull my percentage for the day and probably would have gotten a write up...
i have 8 people under me at work. They all have 144 Hours of PTO. I could care less if they miss work for the FLU or they stubbed their big toe or just feel tired. I have never sent my children to school knowinly if they had fever, vomiting , hacking cough.. They can miss a certain amount of days each year without an excuse. I have let my children stay home because they just didn't feel well that morning. I sure in the hell wouldn't have sent them to school if i knew they had covid, or even if i THOUGHT they had Covid...
