You actually touched on something that really pisses me off about my 100% work from home job.
It’s the fact that my boss can somehow justify that you roll yourself out of bed and log in. He literally uses the phrase sometimes “too sick to log in?” As a means of discouragement from calling out sick, or at the very least get some productivity out of you while you’re sick.
Name a job that would try this shit in real life? When you’ve called out you’ve called out, it doesn’t mean reduced workload because you’re sick ffs.
Idk, literally all of them? The fact that it’s physically impossible for them to bring the workload to your house doesn’t mean they aren’t gonna try every other method of manipulation and social pressure in an effort to get you to sacrifice yourself for the good of the company.
Well, the idea is that there are “levels” to being sick. In CA this shit would never fly.
I don’t even like calling it “sick” I call out for the day, period. I’m not calling in sick or calling in hung over or calling in for family reasons, I’m fucking NOT AVAILABLE for today.
This is the bullshit that wfh has brought and of course not all companies are doing this.
