Does anyone else feel like in office requirements encourage employees to come in sick? It’s flu season and the fear of not maintaining on site quotas could be resulting in people coming to work when they should be working from home. I wish HR would make it clear that no one will be penalized for working from home when sick and contagious.

I think it depends on the company. I'm really grateful that my organization is very supportive of us not coming in when we are ill. I think they recognize that more people are going to get sick if we're all in close proximity and feel like we have to work when we're not feeling well. But I've definitely worked at places that made us feel pressured to come in, even if we had the sick time.

Yes, it’s stupid
I also haven’t heard anything about work life balance in years

Companies seem to be focusing on profits only. Employees are disposable

I absolutely think they do. We have had several people come in sick and get everyone else in the office sick. I don't want to be around anyone who is sick. I wish they would just stay home.

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days).

Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?
