The worst....
Most people are shackled though.
They either need the bread or don’t want to jeopardise their position by taking time off.

Then they are just workaholics who are conditioned to work through illness regardless of their situation.
Which is sad. If you have the time and you're not feeling well, take the day off. You're not doing anything illegal and if you're getting pressure from your boss for calling out sick, then that boss is trash and doesn't know how to manage.

so who is inconsiderate, the person working to preserve their vacation days because they don't have sick days or the company that set a policy in place that makes employees feel like they have to do that..?
anyway, so to be clear, the two Iranians that passed away from covid 19 are not Asian? have they released the names and pictures of them?

Lol I'm talking about who have sick days but refuse to use them and come to work in sick anyways.
Regardless, to answer your question. If you are sick and your company doesn't provide sick days but you come in anyways, both the company and the sick person are inconsiderate.

I know. plenty of ppl do it where I am because there is no paid sick leave, only PTO.
ppl are stressed as it is, why force them to take time they'd use for vacation for sick leave because a company is too stingy to also have sick leave?
lets go further, should companies require parents to use pto instead of granting maternity or paternity leave? these companies will work us to death and we'll let them trying to do whats right for/by these companies that don't care about us one way or the other.

Lol if a company doesn't provide sick days but rather PTO, that means your sick days are included in your PTO.
Your point about maternity leave is dumb btw
