feotakahariPost on Ask a Manager the other day: https://www.askamanager.org/2020/08/coming-to-work-with-covid-symptoms-dungeons-and-more.html Nursing home employee got sick. You know those new rules that are supposed to give you paid leave while you wait for your COVID test results to come back? Nursing homes are exempt from that. She didn't have enough money to go without pay while waiting for a test. So she went to work, and it was COVID after all, and six people died.
Lots of anger at the employee in the comments, but I feel like it's so much bigger than her. The nursing home isn't legally obligated to give paid leave, but could it afford to give paid leave anyway? If it can't afford it, then the government could have chosen to fund paid leave for nursing homes. Something broke to get to this point, and it's going to keep breaking.
