Why come into the office sick blowing your nose, coughing up phlegm. You’re all adults. Did common sense leave when we got Charlie? Please ship all jobs to India, you all can’t act like normal people, then so be it.

Man you guys are lazy. Just go to work. My wife’s uncle hasn’t missed a day in 20 years (no vacation either) and he does manual labor.
But then you have to submit an accommodation request to HR. It takes weeks for that to be processed. I can't imagine it's any faster after the layoffs in HR. You'd be better by the time the request was even processed. It's only worth it for more long term accommodations. Managers will tell you to submit an accommodation request and than hang you out to dry because HR is still processing it.
No one has said the obvious which is get an accommodation. Pretty easy to get temp accommodations. Ask doctor and submit. Broken ankle and can’t move for two weeks. Get the dr to write it up. Flu? Her dr to write it up. Not good enough to have just that. Call and get accommodation first day. Apply for it.
We were told we aren't allowed to make up RTO days at all.
lol because you get penalized if you don't come in? Failing to meet RTO requirements is a potentially fire-able offense. The official page on teamworks explicitly says that you must make up sick time by coming in more often in the surrounding weeks, and who the he-l wants to do that?
Wait till the kids go back to school
Believe me, no one wants to come in if they are sick. A girl on my team had bronchitis along with covid and was told either get a point or come to work. I told her to contact HR she was told it’s under the managers discretion.
And people working from home don’t have to worry about it. RTO EXEMPT noting it’s fired for cause if they deem you don’t meet it. Fair right?
Just the fact that various managers across the company are giving different responses about being sick & RTO expectations shows what a ish show this place is. So some people are exempted from RTO policy by being sick & some aren't? Smh. WF can't even correctly roll out an office policy change.
My manager told me in no uncertain terms that the policy that has been handed down is; "No need to isolate for COVID, you can come to the office" and "We will no longer be sending out site-wide notifications when someone tests positive for COVID" and "Illness doesn't exempt you from RTO policies"
Why come in sick? Because we are required to be in the office 3+ days a week.
Don't like it? Complain to Chuck.
We are not allowed to act like adults anymore.
I was sick and asked to work from home. I was told take PTO or come in. I came in because I didn't have the ability to afford the PTO. Ridiculous.
then take it up with HR or your bosses boss
I was told wfh. Then told I did not meet rto when sick and wanted to put in my mid year review despite having email from boss instructing such.
Employees just as self centered and selfish as the C-level. I hope this entire ship burns.
pto is to be used for sick time as well. if you still want to work then email your manager and ask if you can have an exception to work from home for the week. Managers have the discretion and if they say yes in their reply you have proof if they come after you.
Why wouldn’t I share the love? Go to work, get others sick so they stay home and I look like a rock star with literally no additional effort because others are simply out.
CHA-CHING!!!!!!
Because I have allergies and the office AC on full blast causes me to sneeze which then causes me to have a runny nose.
If I'm functionally sick, I will show up to work. I'm not burning PTO. They want us in the office, so be it!
Because people actually want to use their limited PTO on PTO and there is a strict 3 day requirement now or get rated down. The leaders tell you not to come in sick but expect you to make it up which no one wants to do.
If this leadership gave a cr-p they would give employees a few extra sick days for this purpose since they want people in so bad. Blame this on them. Remember they want people miserable and to leave.
Because RTO
