Coworker who came to work sick. We work in a hospital. We have vulnerable patients. We HAVE COVID-19 PATIENTS!

We also have pretty much unlimited sick time (you'll get put on an 'attendance watch list' if they think you're abusing it) but basically as long as you're full time, if you're sick, fucking don't come to work.

Ugh, WTF? I sympathize with people who don't have sick leave. But if you have it and still show up? What is wrong with you?

Right? As someone who is super lucky in that regard, I totally understand how hard it must be to have to choose between being able to pay bills and getting better. But in our case, just STAY HOME.

It's because people want to cheat and use their paid sick days as extra vacation days. My job also has paid sick leave and yet people come to work sick anyway. They'd rather come to work sick and save those sick days to use as plain old days off, because my job doesn't ask for a doctor's note unless you've been sick several days in a row (which is nice because you don't have to go get a doctor's note if you just have a cold or food poisoning or something like that, but then it also sucks because people abuse it like that). You can just call in sick and they'll accept it, no questions asked.

I get paid sick leave and vacation in the same bucket and sometimes come to work sick if I can’t tell if it’s allergies or not, which is usually the first couple days of any cold, for me. I can have a sore throat and itchy eyes and no other symptoms. And after twelve sick/unplanned days off in a calendar year, I can get in trouble. I get monthly hormonal migraines that can knock me out for a couple days if I don’t take meds in time, so I try to save my sick days for that, puking, snot factory, and fevers. I think I’ve taken one non planned, non sick/pet or relative emergency day in the fifteen years I’ve had this job.

That said, I don’t work in a hospital and once I know it’s something contagious I go home.

They should give paid sick days and also more vacation days

Easy solution

My mom does this because she thinks its a good thing never to miss a days work. That pushing through it makes her stronger. She's an idiot.

I won't lie that I feel INFINITELY guilty if I have to call in sick because I know the impact it will have on my co-workers if they can't find coverage, but at the same time, if I get someone else sick, I know it's going to be worse.

Bleeding h$ll on wheels...

I sincerely hope that the situation you're in doesn't deteriorate. Stay safe, nonny, we're rooting for you. And all of your patients.

Thank you. As someone who's immunocompromised, I'm still worried more about my patients lol. We're doing pretty good with triaging people based on respiratory symptoms into a quarantined space so they're not potentially infecting anyone else, but I think it's unfortunately going to peak before it gets better. Stupid long incubation period!
