@rechu, my company here in the U.S. certainly appears to operate that way, ie., work comes first, health comes second. I couldn't believe they were holding interviews this morning, when our entire state is shutting down, left and right. However, this afternoon our CEO told us to all work from home for the unforseeable future, or for however long will be necessary. So he finally came to his senses, and that was minutes before our President declared a national emergency.

We DO get sick leave and we were told to work from home IF we felt any sickness. So I've actually been working from home for the last 3 days because I've been sick.
