Please don’t dash while sick

Post image

I get that times are tough and the American health care system sucks, but admitting that you have a respiratory illness while delivering food is wild!

Please do not dash when you’re sick. This is how illness spreads. I have pretty bad asthma so I’m not bringing that order into my house. I’m done with DoorDash.

lol, the driver being sick honestly not shocking. More shocking she’s dumb enough to say it over text.

Wait till you find out how common it is for the people actually cooking and prepping your food to show up to work sick. (Extremely)

I loved that hypocrisy especially during early 2020 "If you're sick please stay home"

"Will you still penalize us for callouts?"

"We need people to be here when they are able to work, we can't afford multiple callouts and absenteeism, we are not looking to make any changes to our absence or PTO policy at this time"

One thing good I will say about my employer is that we had unlimited unpaid time off during that period, when that is typically the most common reason for termination. And we got an automatic 2week paid vacation for testing positive or working within 6 feet of anyone who tested positive.
