There's a big difference between the expectation of high wage companies and low wage companies, and then what you might call "highly ethical" companies and bozo the clown companies. There's a big spectrum out there.
There are two overarching principles that might apply broadly:
1. You'd have to be an idiot, at this point, to come in sick or with a fever. There's an IQ test there. 99% of people are gonna pass it under these circumstances.
2. everything sticky and personal gets bumped down to first line supervision. Of the 1% of people that are dumb enough to come in, 99% of those people are going to go home if their direct boss tells them to right now. That's how they handle everything like this.
The hairier question was whether to come to work or not when you're not sick yet. They told us 18 months ago that people were spreading it a week before they got symptoms. We dealt with that for a year already, and it's actually a pretty complex patchwork of ideas. Rules about guessing whether you had Covid, and there were a lot of them, are actually stripped away now. Initially, Tennessee was waaaaay behind the curve, so you could just tell people not to come in after they'd been traveling. But after a while, that wasn't meaningful anymore, and we had to go by contact with people that you think or maybe know have Covid. And then we had testing, and then we had vaccines. All this development and change was mixed in with periods of working from home, and periods where you weren't allowed to have a meeting, and then you were, and then as the vaccines got less effective, you weren't.
