Ugh

[philstar22]

It is really sad that I almost wish I have Covid. At least then I might be able to get a day off. But not Covid. Still some kind of infection in my lungs, though, that is making doing anything at all exhausting. Going to be a long few days.

Re: Ugh

I'm wishing you a speedy recovery!

Re: Ugh

Thanks.

You can still call in sick if you are not Covid sick. You can just call in regular sick. You don't even have to give real symptoms. Tell your boss you are having uncontrollable diarrhea, that usually works on mine. They do NOT want to know more. It is almost as good as saying heavy period. Just, lie. It is easy.

Some workplaces won't allow call-ins, even with a reasonable "I'm too sick to come in and no, it's not covid" situation.
Or in my case, you are allowed 6 days in 1 calendar year. The only way to not potentially get fired or have it negatively be docked against you is to go on short term disability, which means you'll have to already have gone to a doctor and got a doctor's note stating that you indeed are too sick to come in (and most clinics I've visited are really reluctant to give you more than 24 hours of excused sick time per visit ["come see me again if you aren't feeling better by tomorrow" - said to me when my tonsils were swollen AF and we both know it'll take 72 hours for the antibiotics to help my body not be in misery])

If you can call in sick - paid or nonpaid - and not have it be marked down negativity on your record, you're lucky.
Most workplaces give zero fucks your state of being - you are expected to come into work. You have to literally prove that you're too sick to work by showing up looking miserable - and even then, they'll say, "well you made it in so that means you can work" (even though the only reason why you went in is because to not come in means you'll be fired).
Count your luck if you don't have to worry about negative repercussions for simply being too sick to work.

I can't. I'm out of sick days. More than out, and I got in trouble and had to sign a thing saying I wouldn't take off any more days.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I get that this is the reality for a lot of people in the US, but this is the stupidest, most callous thing to do to your employees.

There's not even any benefit to the employer! Either the employee does crap work or they have to work slowly to avoid mistakes but either way, their output suffers. And if it's an infectious disease they risk their whole office going sick! And what if you had to be hospitalised after signing that stupid thing? Would they turn up in your hospital room to drag you to work? This sort of thing makes me so mad.

Even for Texas, your employer kind of sucks.

Every time I think my country sucks, USA manage to outdone itself. It should be fucking illegal!
