A reader is frustrated with their company’s back-to-office mandate four days a week, which is causing sick co-workers to come in and spread their germs. The company provides two weeks of “occasional absence” but people are not using it when they are ill. The reader is now sick at home and wants to speak to the office manager about the issue. Annie advises the reader to address the problem with the office manager or human resources, as coming to work sick is harmful and selfish, not heroic. Speaking up could lead to a reminder for all employees to stay home when sick to avoid putting others at risk and maintain a positive office environment. This advice is part of Annie’s regular column, where she addresses various personal and workplace issues. Additionally, Annie’s second anthology, “How Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?”, is now available for those seeking advice on marriage, infidelity, communication, and reconciliation. Readers can send their questions to dearannie@creators.com.
