Everyone is sick at work now, I’m the cause since I wasn’t allowed to call out.

I’m always surprised by how fucking idiotic American companies are about this. They’re perfectly willing to have the sick infect everyone else. The weird thing is that it causes direct self-harm to the company doing this. A lot of policies, they harm society in general but benefit the corporation itself.

But this practice is an odd one because it harms everyone for no benefit at all, least of all to the company that greatly reduces its own productivity by spreading the plague merrily around. It just makes no sense at all but seems to be primarily about cruelty and subservience.
