I really hope this is an exaggeration...who would be so idiotic to ask an ill person to still go to work?
Not only for the sake of the ill person, but for the colleagues too (they can catch the flu), and for the entire work environment (the ill person will not do a good work being unhealty and frail; and other workers could be forced to stay at home too later).
It’s a loss for everyone, even for a black company’s standars would be too much and too stupid...I hope this really doesn’t happen.
