An Open Letter

This is my open letter to HR -

Dear Human Resources,

Thank you so much for incessantly posting flyers on every inch of wall space telling me to cover my mouth when I cough and to STOP and go home and if I have a fever AND cough. Also, thanks for the many emails reminding me of our new "fit to work" policy where we are to supposed to come to work with a 100 degree fever or more. However as I look around the office I can't help but notice the balls of tissues at desks and hear the sounds of coughing echoing in the hallway. While people are covering their mouths as instructed, they are still coming to work sick. Then it hit me - we don't have sick days! Therefor staying home requires us to use our precious vacation days. Who wants to use a coveted day off lying on the couch and eating soup, especially when you don't really feel thaaat bad. As in, you could probably sit through a day at your desk and save your vacation time. I propose implementing sick days in the office for people to use, wait for it, when they are sick. I know this is a little out there so I'll give you some time to let this sink in. Just remember, cold and flu season is only beginning...

sincerely,
