I would sometimes order people to go home (of course, I couldn't really order them to, but sometimes the suggestion worked).

I would actually question whether the "business community" as a whole is violently opposed to paid sick leave. From the management side, the point of sick leave isn't that the poor sickie gets to recover, but that he or she might not infect others and cause a *gasp* loss of productivity.

Perhaps Republicans would be more agreeable about this if personality disorders were included as qualifying conditions for sick leave.

I’m going to take a little time here to complain about the people who come to work sick because they don’t want to waste their time off being sick. There, I did it.
