Lol if I’m sick I’m not coming in. If my company doesn’t like that then I’m gonna start sending my resume around. The job market is always strong for an engineer with marketing skills, so I won’t step one foot outside my home if I’m actually sick
Honestly that’s not the type of life I want for anyone. People shouldn’t be coerced into coming into work even when sick. If you’re sick, stay home, take care of yourself.
Working from home has luckily made big leaps forward so people shouldn’t have to come in if they’re fighting a cold. Why make the rest of the company sick?
That’s literally not what you wrote in your first comment lol. You implied the need for a permission slip from a doctor, and said that you’d get in trouble for not coming in (something that I have never experienced luckily, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a truly toxic workplace like that). You also suggested we would go back to that soon. That would be an awful thing.
The typical culture at most companies has been: come to work even if you are sick, unless you are VERY VERY sick. Their corporate policies supported this by requiring a signed form from a doctor saying that you are sick enough not to come in if you were going to be out more than a day or two. You had to prove it and pay for the privilege (doctors appointments are not free) and often doctors would refuse to sign said paperwork out of a worry of liability. This is common EVERYWHERE, and has been for DECADES.
In my entire adult life neither I nor anyone I know has had a work experience like this, so maybe you just work in a shit-ass industry. I've certainly taken time off when sick, and even when feeling a bit off my bosses have necouraged me to go home and rest up.
Requiring a doctor's note is an insane level of micro management that I have never heard of outside of forums where people share their work horror stories working for shit-ass companies.
Your original comment, in its entirety, said:
Before 2020, you would get in trouble for NOT coming into work even when obviously sick with tons of symptoms, unless you could prove that you were sick enough, usually by filling out some permission slip and paying a doctor to sign it. It's enough of a hassle that just people just always came to work even when coughing, sneezing, high fever, sore throat, whatever, can't afford to miss work, and companies de facto expected and encouraged this as normal behavior. Working when sick was a way to show dedication.
All that changed in a crazy extreme way for the last few years, but my guess is we'll be back to that soon though.
At no point do you mention the middle stage of companies letting people stay home to take care of themselves when they're sick, which is why your second comment seemed completely contradictory
This is part of their mind control. You would have to think you were crazy if you had a cold with no symptoms. In fact, you would be crazy to think that.......
Its back to that already where Im from.
Women and Children call in sick.

It’s not just my industry is the thing. Nobody I know has had anything like that. I feel like what you’re describing is a rarity.
Yep Trump would have been supplying straight jackets instead of ventilators.Thankyou MSM
All I know is that I am on death's door.
No fever. No coughing. No sneezing. No runny nose. No aches or pains.
I must be massively sick!
Guess I can't go into work this week again!

Calls out sick from work "I'm feeling well, but 'tested' positive for sniffles - I need two weeks off"
You'd be fired on the spot
Then imagine someone without symptoms and testing positive being told they are more dangerous than someone who has symptomsand was vaccinated.
Before 2020 you would have been called a hypochondriac...
OP... That was called trynagetouttawork.
Before 2020, I could travel interstate and use key services without the flu injection being used as a condition of entry or service.
We truly live in a time where we are seeing the dumbest generations of people the world has ever seen.
