Amazon's Sick New Sick Policy
This seems to come off as a means of using peer pressure to ensure everyone comes to work every day, regardless of personal or family illness.<p>If little Timmy gets the flu or something worse and you take a week or longer off to look after him because he can't go to school, your team is going to feel like your child has cost them money, which he has.<p>Not a good work way to build an environment based on affection and personal respect. Childless people will hate people with sick kids and if someone has a chronic illness that person is now a drain on the team.<p>Also a good way to ensure sick people heroically come to work and infect everyone else.
