I have nowhere else to live as of right now, I mean I could stay with my dad and stepmom in a city like a hour and some change away but he works at a hospital so that would be a whole other debacle in itself.
Dec 23, 2020·1 replyHurryUpDevil4AngelSo I need some advice. My test came back negative, my mom’s second test came back positive. She’s asymptomatic right now so I’m a lot less worried but still cautious.
My boss called me last night to get an update, and we had a ten minute conversation going over the policy of the company. Apparently even if you live with someone who tested positive, if you’re showing negative then you’re required to come in. I think that’s complete bullshit and just the company trying to cover its ass and squeeze as many hours in as possible. I told him I would consider coming in if my results were negative but now that I’m thinking about it, it would be dumb to. At any point I could test positive, I could be infected right now and not know it yet. Our house isn’t that big, she’s isolating herself in her room but to simply get downstairs we have to walk down the same narrow hallway and steps. It’s inevitable we will cross paths just doing daily stuff around the house. And the thing is with Christmas coming up everyone is required to work on Eve and at least 4+ hours Christmas Day. So he’s obviously facing pressure from higher up.
Am I crazy for thinking this? I don’t want to face any repercussions from work, I just got promoted a few months ago. But if no one else is gonna give a f*** about this virus then I will and I’ll cover my own ass if I have to. Over 90% of the counties in NC have “substantial and critical” amount of positive cases. These scummy companies don’t give a s*** about keeping people safe so why should I give a s*** about them?
In this situation they clearly don’t care. Corporate will always worry about numbers in s***ty dead end retail jobs. If they don’t care just go in and say f*** it. However if you genuinely are concerned about your co workers or others safety I would explain it to HR

Exactly. But in my conscious I wouldn’t feel good knowing that I’m actively putting others at risk everytime I leave my house.

Try calling the HR for your company and explaining to them the situation and why you want to sit out for atleast another week

If my boss gives me pushback then I definitely will
