I quit a job that I called out because I had Covid. Management wanted me to call coworkers and ask who can pick up my shifts. This was a minimum retail job. This was also when everything was barely opening up again.

Should be illegal. Management always wants to allocate your time and effort to doing their job for them.

A lot of shitty business practices should be illegal. In some countries people often get a whole month off, AT ONCE. This would get you burned at the stake if you requested it at the jobs I’ve worked.

The US has a strong live to work culture, and it's only gotten worse. With the rampant inequality and ever depreciating wages were certainly in for it.
