Award to be handed out by that middle manager who proudly and loudly never “needs” a sick day. cough Don’t worry sneeze I tested and it’s cough-cough-cough not COVID. I feel fine. I go crazy if I just stay home and don’t work, you know?
Stay home for those too, nobody wants to get sick because you feel the need to be seen at work. We see you and we all think you’re an asshole for coming in sick.
What’s wild is that even from a purely business perspective that’s the right choice. Missing someone entirely for a day or three is so much better than half the office operating at half capacity because they’re all sick.
That’s a nice idea and all but largely companies that are too ineffective tend to go bust. Like yeah they get away with some stuff, but there is a limit. It’s competition that determines that limit. The more competition in an industry the more efficient you have to be and the less returns the owners will get. It’s one of the better aspects of capitalism - for the most part. It could lead to companies cutting costs that cause issues down the road.
Oh absolutely. But the bigger or more monopolistic the company, the higher the limit. Some can get away with running in circles for years while people play career ladder games in successive restructurings.
Same middle manager who actually wants to come back to the office instead of remote working and always suggests ridiculous “positives” of it, but you know they just hate their home life is what it is.

It’s like everyone forgot that other illnesses other than covid, yknow, exist

Sometimes it feels more reasonable to think of a corporation as a pure power structure with some apparent productive output as alibi.
