Poll of the Day > So, it looks like my co-workers faked their Covid tests.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's a married couple, both liars and manipulators. Tend use "getting sick" as an excuse for extra time off and going on trips. Also, they tend to coincidentally end up sick if anything at work stresses them out.

Last week they both got furious at my other coworker for being 3 minutes late. The wife told me she was going to call in the next day, and maybe even take the next 3 days off as punishment to the late coworker.

Well... They're not the brightest. This time they chose Covid as an excuse. I guess they didn't initially realize that they'd have to give us proof that they tested negative in order to come back. Claimed they got their test that same day that they called in.

They called yesterday and told my boss that they tested negative and were cleared to return to work on the 18th. Boss told them to bring their results back in asap.

So they brought them today... and, yeah. The logo at the top of the page is stretched and distorted. It literally just says "To whom it may concern, Firstname Lastname are clear for work on the 15th." With a signature. They brought 2, one for each of them, but the spacing is completely different on each one. Plus the signature suspiciously matches the wife's handwriting.

There was nothing about a Covid test mentioned, the dates don't match up from what they said on the phone, the office logo is messed up, it's just a basic "all clear" not addressed to anyone, which are formatted differently for each one, and the signature just looks like she signed someone else's name.

Fire them

Out of a cannon

Into the sun.

Damn. That is so fucked up. There needs to be some kind of serious consequence for people that try to fake a diagnosis during an actual pandemic

---

I cant believe they tried to do that. Make them take a real test and wait for the results. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...
---

Give them to your boss and share your concerns. That or just let it slide. These people don't deserve to be working it seems.

---

just tell somebody you heard them say they were going to "take off" the next few days because of a coworker being 3 minutes late.

these people are trash. You don't need 'em

They should've just used 'stupidity' as their fake illness

Americans, geez.

There's nothing wrong with using all your sick days. Fuck the employer for not just letting them use them and have to make up excuses.

You can tell it's not legit because it wasn't a false positive.

That's what I walked in on when I arrived. My other coworker spotted the fakeness because she uses the same clinic and had never seen a letter like that from them. So she compared everything and was showing me and the boss the list of inconsistencies. Boss just said she's too busy to deal with it right now and took off, but in fairness she did seem overwhelmed.

That's the thing, this job is super generous with time off. There's no limit to sick days and you can take them whenever you need. Can have pretty much any amount of time off that you want as long as they give notice.

These guys just use it as a power play to punish the rest of us with last minute schedule changes.

This week sucks. Had a major screw up last week. Then they called out and made us short staffed. Friday and Saturday were incredibly busy. Sunday a guest threatened to kill my other coworker and our manager who was at home told her not to call the cops because "he probably won't". Then yesterday I arrived to the parking lot swarming with cops, and was given a list of guests that I was supposed to report if they came back. And of course, they did, so I had another load of cops all over the place last night... and it wasn't even the guys they were looking for. Then today's drama is apparently fake Covid tests.

This stuff is really wearing me down.

Where do you work?

Where do you work?

At a pair of sister hotels. We share staff between both.

So two people that work at hotels, which I think you previously said are now taking guests, called out with COVID and this didn't result in mass testing of other employees, reporting possible exposure of guests and at least temporarily closing the hotels? I mean, your co-workers suck but your company's response also seems a bit underwhelming.

Pretty much.
