I don’t agree with measuring productivity that way. Coworker recently had covid, but they still worked from home. Granted, they put in maybe half the hours they would normally. But, boss was good with it as the alternative was zero work done at all. They still got some work done without burning any sick days.
I’m a millennial and can’t remember the last time I was too sick to work from home. Sick means I’m somehow contagious and shouldn’t be in office, but I can still get some work done. I haven’t taken a sick day in over a decade, just a work from home day. I work in software so I guess that makes it easy compared to other professions.
Count your blessings. I’ve been sick enough to mute my work call while vomiting. (They needed me that day, and mostly I just needed to be on that call.)
But I’ve absolutely had days where I couldn’t get far out of bed.

Yeah that doesn’t work for kitchen staff.
