erm… determining things like this on your own is just part of being an adult. There is no magic radar gun assessing level or sickness, nor standardized corporate qualifications.
I’m remote so if I feel like my illness will impact my work quality or avoiding additional rest will degrade my condition then I call off. It is important to know yourself and let your body heal. When I was office-bound I never went to work contagious, fevered, or with distracting symptoms (chronic cough, gross runny nose, etc.). Take care of yourself.
Something we should have all learned from the pandemic is the importance of not infecting others. If you've got a cold or flu and you know you'll have to be around a lot of people in close quarters, think twice. Especially so if you know you'll be coughing and sneezing and not really able to control where your germs are flying. If you're going to give everyone else your cold, it's best to stay home.
So glad someone said this!
The policy says if you have a fever don’t show up call out and use 1 of 4 in a 6 month period of what they call “unscheduled time off“ which means anything after that without using your PTO ahead of time which no one can because how can you plan on being sick it’s a mess genuinely I’ve been there 4 years it’s a nightmare
Don’t forget Mental Health Sick Days! When my entire team has called out sick or had out after only a couple hours due to family issues or illness or they where sick or nail appointments and other others thus leaving me to do 4 people works for almost 3 full weeks. I call in not feeling well not able to work. I put my cell on silent because I get calls and texts on how to do basic tasks. 😎 Sometimes I need 2 days in a row. 😱 I shop, read and look for a new job on my days off. My team then does not call out so much.
