(Puts on HR hat) I can understand that, but your employer is setting the requirement and therefore should have a list of acceptable tests and provide/provide access to them for you as either a reimbursable expense or covered insurance expense. Otherwise, they can adopt CDC recommendations for return to work post-COVID.
(Takes HR hat off). I understand not every company wants to do the right thing from an HR perspective.
I’m not sure what brought this on, but I didn’t say anything about issuing commands outside of employment. Maybe I did, I posted that yesterday and haven’t read it again to double check.
But here’s the deal: I have a fever today so I’m home. Many of employers have policies regarding who you were around when symptoms start and at one point a certain number of days prior.
No negative test, they will often assume it’s Covid. This would mean that today they would send 3 more people home who are trying to earn a living. So I made sure to tell them I had a negative Covid test when I called to let them know I wouldn’t be in today.
When I had a sinus infection towards the start of this mess the same issue came up. They had me call a number and talk to someone with a checklist who said “yep, those symptoms align with Covid”. I was not forced to get tested. I had a choice or a 14 day “quarantine” or I could get the test showing negative and go back to work a few days later when I felt better.
Who knows how what the policy is now, it seems to change weekly. I guess I could rage quit, find another job. Likely with the same stupid ever changing policies in place.
Hell, seems like I managed to find one of the few large campaniles that never once hinted at requiring a Jab. Although I had a backup plan if they did.

Gotta keep those numbers up! These are rookie numbers.
My employer was providing tests and offering to reimburse for tests, at least while they were available. Without a test, if you’re sick you stay home. Pretty reasonable in my opinion.
GP,
Your reasonable is to some extent my 'unreasonable'.
I once worked for corporate America.
If I decided to stay home because I felt ill and thought it might possibly be something contagious, I would wait to return until I felt well.
I find that reasonable.
I don't find an employer (in effect) medically bossing me around as reasonable (that's intolerably getting into my personal life) and would have (at that time) told them 'adios' if they overstepped their bounds when it comes to telling me what to do beyond the scope of my employment duties.
But sure, complying with overbearing/personal life orders from your employer while not uttering a peep is for some 'casper milk toasts'.
Not me.
I backed up the above philosophy (if you will) by not
tolerating overbearing intrusion or orders by my employer when it was tried a few times during my career knowing it could cost me my job.
Fortunately, it never did, though to be sure I was discreetly warned it 'could' be canned...I was willing to fact that before I would meekly comply...fk that.

Last I will say on that in the interest of not being argumentative is this:
All my employer did is say “if you’re sick and it might be covid, stay home.” It is completely appropriate for a company to try to avoid illness in its workforce (by reasonable non-intrusive means), and that isn’t medically bossing me around. Nobody asked me to report my medical history or status to them or even directly asked me if I felt sick. If I have a runny nose from allergies, nobody says a word. My coworker has a cough from medication he’s on, no questions asked. The policy is really no more than a polite request to “please be respectful of your coworkers, and if we can help you get tested we’re happy to help.”
And if someone wants to be an asshole and come to work sick with covid (or flu or anything else for that matter) because he doesn’t want to take a test or be considerate of other people, then I’m not honestly sure anything would be done about it.
Similar deal with the mask policy. Policy is you have to wear one, but people pull them down or take them off and nobody says anything about it. Sorry to bring up masks which is a whole other can of worms. Worthless face diapers if you ask me but people act like they’re magic. Mentally it’s so easy for people to go from “well I don’t think they work but I’ll just wear it to make other people feel good” to “well I was around ___ who is sick but I was wearing a mask so I think I’m fine.”
anyway, consider that a reasonable approach or not, personally I do and I’m grateful to have a job.
GP,
See post No. 37 - Re:
"Lots of places have a big circus of bullshit now."
This sort of over the top crap is what I'm referencing.
Your last post regarding 'your' employer sounds like 'they're' quite reasonable, but the 'big circus of bs now' is an example of when employers (not all) can go 'off the rails' issuing bizarre directives as if employees can't vote with their feet.
They must obey...yeah, sure...
Some employers are break dancing in panic over c-19.
They come up with sht like 'you must be vaxxed to work here' etc.
Fk them.
As noted, employment opportunities abound - wanna resign?
Do so if needed - You can have a new job this afternoon.

I made up my own test:
When I wake, I ask myself, "Do I feel sick?"
No- I go to work.
Yes- I call in sick.
I know! Not very scientific, but it's worked for me most my life.

Bill Hemmer calls out COVID-19 tests branded 'Made in China'
Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer Tuesday said he received his free COVID-19 tests through the mail under President Biden's new testing initiative, but noted the at-home kits were "made in China."
Now, who is a stupid son-of-a-bitch?
You could probably guess my vote. China engineers a bio-weapon and releases it on the world. Now we pay them to send kits so we can report to them how widespread their weapon is.Bill Hemmer calls out COVID-19 tests branded 'Made in China'

Oh, and the Biden family pockets millions in return.
Dang. Change my vote. It's us.

A man of vision but with no mission.
Anyone recieve their free covid test and N 95 mask yet? Yeah they probably won't ever make it off the boat.
I hope Biden didnt buy a billion of chinas anal swabs covid test.
That would be so phucking priceless and hilarious.
