It amazes me how people went to work sick as if it was normal. Of courses some bosses were assholes and "wouldn't let you go home" or "needed you at work". Sure boss let me sneeze in my hand before I shake everybody else's hand.
Now these days woah big scary covid. If you're not feeling good please stay home. We should've been staying home like 30 yrs ago,

They still are.
I have a 103 fever and here I am. At work.
I'm not sure what places you are working that kept the COVID era scare.
Medicine is so polarized I can't even tell my coworkers I tested positive for COVID. One of them will go on a violent rant for hours. '"Yep, I'm definitely a crisis actor. They don't pay much these days. This is my second job"
I mean if you feel sick and wanna stay home, it happens. I just wish managers were less assholes and were more considerate.
The problem is so many jobs either make you take vacation days or not get paid at all if you have to miss work due to any illness
I wonder if it’s a case of empathy being forced on some people, like when a Republican is suddenly LGBT tolerant because one of their own kids came out. But in this case it’s the feeling of worrying about their health or that of a loved one.
Whatever the cause, it’s still a positive change. I’m sure many of us who already saw the sense in staying home will now err on the side of caution a little more often.
