Pre-WFH era, if someone was sick they wouldn’t go into work and therefore would take the day off.

Nowadays, if someone is too sick to go into work (maybe contagious) but not too sick to sit at their laptop from home, is the expectation that they should work? Or take the day off?

    Depends. If it's a mild cold will try to do some things, if I have a fever I'm done.

    With that being said I had Covid-19 and worked most days because I just started my new job and didn't want to start off on the wrong foot. So I'm Lowkey a full fledged proletariat

    When you are sick you need to recover, and part of your recovery is to free your mind from strain and stress which gets in the way of your body doing that.

    Any half good manager will recognize that and not expect you to work. Now, of course up to you how much you work.

    Please take sick days and please don't check on slack when you are sick.
    If everyone is working on sick days, there will soon be no sick days for all of us.....

    If you have unlimited sick leaves, take it. If you have limited sick leaves, save it for vacation
