Chuck, that is a bitch, particularly at your age....
I have pulmonary conditions that put me at high risk if I was to contract this virus. The company will pay me through May 1st to sit on my *** at home but as yet I have not availed myself of their offer, I may have to rethink that.
I’m so pissed off. We have a guy at work that has been coughing all week. He comes in today and says to mechanic (who is fixing his truck) “ man, I feel like ****, I just can’t seem to shake this bug” . To which the mechanic says, you should take your *** to the doctor and get tested. He then calls his boss and his bosses boss and complains. I see the guy pull into the garage, park his truck and walk out the door!. The guy stood right next to me the day before yesterday coughing ,not even covering his mouth. Our desks are right next to one another, did I mention I was pissed ?.
Had a couple guys that would brag about never using a sick day in 10 years, but nobody, including the manager was impressed. He told me more than once the company paid more sick leave when those guys came in sick than if they'd stayed home for a month, spread flu so bad a few times they'd have to pay overtime to make up the lost man hours. I'm glad that's years ago, it's a good time to be home alone.
