When will boomers realize that going to work sick does not make you brave?

You'd think a global pandemic and a changing work culture would stop this kind of thing from happening, but boomers are just that stubborn. If these horrible bosses were to ever admit that going to work sick is not a good idea (in fact, as these comments show, it actually costs companies money), that would be admitting that their way of life wasn't healthy.

It seems more complex and profound than that, but really it's that simple. Let's put an end to this.
