Even from a selfish point of view, having sick people come in is idiotic. Their productivity will be terrible, and the most they will accomplish is pass whatever they have to other employees, in turn making them less productive. I worked as a server/bartender for years and legally you’re not supposed to set foot in there if you’ve thrown up, had a fever, or had diarrhea in the last 24hours. Every single person that has worked in a kitchen has absolutely tried to call out, been told that if they don’t show up they’re fired, and then spent the rest of the night alternately taking orders and running food and vomiting into a trash can in the corner. WhY dO wE hAVe NoRoViRuS oUtBrEaKs?!?!? Even now at my office job, if one of my co-workers hears that someone he’s trying to call is out sick he smarmily intones “Must be nice to take a day off...” Being off sick gets you a reputation as “not a team player” and “unreliable”. Or if they even have any paid time off, it’s all in one bundle, so anytime you are out sick it subtracts from any actual vacation you are allowed to take. So people come in sick to fill their chair and spread it to everyone in their immediate vicinity. We have almost no worker protections except in the most dire cases.
