Reasonable stance. But old habits die hard, and it’s pretty ingrained for many to work while sick. For example, I‘ve had a coworker admit patients to the hospital while receiving IV fluids.This. If you're sick, just stay home. I don't care if you have covid, a cold, or ebola. Stay home.Hard to say. I think there are a lot of people that learned after the pandemic that if you don’t feel well—take a home test or just don’t put yourself around masses of people. Even if you gave people a cold right before Thanksgiving—that‘s still not cool. For example A couple months ago-I thought I had a cold the night before I was scheduled to work the next morning. Took a covid test and tested positive. Immediately contacted my boss and was instructed to not come to the office the next five days.i don't think most people would've done that in today's environment.Common courtesy? Common courtesy would have been to take a covid test when you felt a tiny bit sick before possibly exposing all of those people to covid. In any case, at this point I’d probably send an email to your manager and cc it to HR as others have mentioned.i guess common courtesy, but a lot of people are going to be visiting family this week, possibly elderly parents, etc. if someone is at risk I don't want to be indirectly responsible for their illness/death.What is the upside to making them aware?
And the work environment matters. Just last week, at a meeting for 100+ healthcare providers, a physician asked what constituted “being sick”. This occurred in a backdrop of staffing shortages, after a couple people called in for undisclosed health reasons.
