I actually did this during fucking Corona, and I still do it often, literally until they drive me away, because I’m that afraid of being accused of dodging work.
I did the same. They are assholes that assume you’re lying. During Covid they refused to see you at the urgent care if you had a fever. How the hell am I gonna get a note if I can’t be seen. I’m not paying 10k for a note from the ER.
Then they get mad like why would you come in if you’re sick. BROTHER YOU MADE ME COME IN.
Unfortunately they won’t see the consequences either because everyone will get sick and keep coming in, when the owner(s) can just dip out and take a personal day.
It dips when you’re sick, it will dip further when half of a department is sick. It’s better to protect everybody else and take a hit for a day or two than spend weeks with people passing around an illness back and forth with reduced productivity.

They brought it on themselves, I suppose.

We are a small company. Productivity absolutely dips.
