    “employees are not eligible for paid COVID leave to care for a family member who has tested positive or a child who is home due to school closure.” What a dark sentence

      “We’d rather you came in sick and infected your co-workers and to encourage that, we’ll not pay you to stay at home and keep them safe”

      Who was lucky enough to still get paid covid leave? By the time I caught it, it was just use sick leave if you have it and sucks if you don’t

        I was one of the incredibly lucky ones where I got COVID 2 years ago, got the paid time off, and my only symptoms were being tired and irritable so it was more like a vacation!

        I’m always tired and irritable so I’m constantly taking COVID tests now lol

      In an even darker reality when corporations are able to pressure the CDC to change their guidelines to reduce business expenses at the cost of human suffering.
