Employee's Blunt Warning: Prioritize Health Over Work Amidst Rising COVID-19 Cases A stark warning has been issued by a frustrated employee after falling ill with COVID-19, highlighting the importance of prioritizing health over work responsibilities. The individual, who had previously been exposed to a colleague with a high fever, chose to attend a meeting without taking necessary precautions, only to later contract the virus themselves. Their cautionary tale serves as a reminder that even in the face of pressing deadlines or work commitments, personal health and the health of those around us should take precedence. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, the employee's experience underscores the need for individuals to take proactive steps in protecting themselves and their communities.
One of my team members came to work on Monday with a 102 degree fever. We told her to stay home, that we would figure it out if she couldn't get a sub. But no, she came in. I had to sit beside her in a meeting later that day where she kept coughing, no mask on. I started feeling bad yesterday afternoon and when I got home, I also had a fever. So now I'm out today. It's passover and I missed my seder with my family last night because I'm sick. I'm missing another one tonight. I'm pissed. If you have a fever, STAY HOME! No lesson or data or whatever is more important than your health and the health of those around you. submitted by /u/hellohellocat [link] [comments]
