Up the bum - no babies!!!
My manager was fuming that people where taking sick days because of “just a cold”. People who work in a school!
To start from the end and to cut a very, very long story short, and as an end result, my manager has taken out a formal complaint against one of my workmates, for 'being rude', after my workmate insisted that my manager (who has been in herself coughing and hacking away - 'a cold' that she decided wasn't worth testing, along with others with 'flu' sypmtoms), needed to urgently check whether my manager was right in saying that one of our two unvaccinated staff should not be sent home after his wife had tested positive with a LFD.
It took hours to resolve and he subsequently tested positive himself and was off beyond the 10 days because he is still ill.
Separately, the second unvaccinated person should have been immediately sent home, too, for being a close contact, and everyone else advised to test.
SLT had absolutely no idea of any of the rules and are rigid in their support of continuing shit management.
I kicked the fuck off, myself, and had a surreal convo with a SLT member about whether LFD's are acceptable to be used when you have symptoms, even if you are vaccinated (no) and what constituted the correct kind of cough, amongst other things, where I had to repeatedly ask him to check what I already knew and with an eventual agreement that people should self isolate and get a PCR with symptoms but that yes, ok, someone coughing ONCE doesn't count.
I work in a school.
