“What used to really tick me off when i worked in an office is parents would get a call from school that their kid is sick and then bring that child to the office!! the school dismissed the child for fear of spreading illness to others and the parent brings that child to the workplace, cant afford a babysitter? I don’t care I don’t want to get sick. “
true, and I’m not saying it’s right, but it is not exactly easy to get a babysitter with no advanced notice in the middle of the day, who has no other kids with her. The only option would be for the parent to take off- would the boss allow that? Don’t forget, the kind of contact the kid would have with others sitting in a corner of the office is much more minimal than what he would have in school among other kids. And sometimes they send the kid home, not just because he is contagious, but maybe he needs some rest and TLC.
