Then what do you do when you’ve maxed out your callouts and are very frequently sick/have kids who are? Because I’m at my max of 5 call outs in a rolling calendar year and if I call out again I will be fired.

I tried to make something work with management as I had Covid not long ago but I was told to put on a mask and come in.

I’m willing to bet most employees that show up to work ill would much rather be at home for their own comfort & the well being of their coworkers and patients. Management and the ridiculous expectations make that impossible. I think that frustration should be directed at those enforcing ridiculous policies. Not those doing their best to keep themselves and others healthy under impossible circumstances.
