    Is it acceptable now to pull sickies from work? Or would they expect you to self-isolate and get tested, even though you just want a day off.

    Had an employee tell me that a few months ago. I can confirm that it resulted in no further questions and me telling her to take as much time as she needed.

    I thought it was just too much information at the time. I now see she was an evil genius.
