Got a text from my Co-worker advising that she had Type A flu, and so did the rest of her Family. She had the Mutated Strain, and her entire family had the vaccinations.
She came to work, and was planning on continuing to work due to us being extremely short handed. I called my acting supervisor and volunteered to work 12 hour shifts so she could stay home and not expose the rest of the office to the flu. My lovely acting supervisor was going to refuse to let her go home just because she would have to work a 12 hour shift herself. She's rather expose herself and the rest of the staff to a highly contagious disease then get off her lazy butt and work. I finally had to use policy and a threat to call her supervisor to force the issue. Drives me nuts people would expose other people to the flu, rather then work.
I have a toddler at home, and extremely sick grandparent that we help take care of. If he caught the flu, it will kill him.
People really need to think of others when dealing with contagious pathogens.
