Right from the outset, my wife's coworker got her sick, which spread to my two little kids and then to me. They only work two days a week in person and it's not heavily enforced, but people still lack the fucking common sense to quarantine themself after symptoms go away but when you're still contagious. Smh
CDC says to go back to work and resume normal activities 24 hours after symptoms start to improve but they may still be present.

What common sense are you relying on here and why does it go against CDC guidelines?
The CDC guidelines aren't about prevention but a trade off between prevention and economic activity.
You can very well be contagious during that period, but it's too much of a burden on the system to wait until you are definitely not contagious.
Up here in Canada when they changed the rules and had the big press conference they even explicitly mentioned that it was in part due to economic reasons and it would allow some additional spread when asked directly.
Edit: and they even recommended wearing masks to work for a few more days afterwards just in case, but of course no one did.
While I think the CDC is correct in this particular case, you'll have to excuse those of us who no longer trust the CDC after they intentionally lied to the public numerous times during the Covid-19 pandemic and contributed to the death and permanent injuries of US Americans who became infected due to their misinformation.
I hear this same line from anti vaxxers
