That shit is extremely rare over here in Germany, and it will not improve employee satisfaction or their commitment. And you are not bound to open the door anyways or to stay home when you are sick (you can get better at your partners place, no problem) so simply don't open the door when you are sick.
If they tried this in Australia Fairwork would go so far up their arses they'd never come back out. I'm presuming Germany has even more robust worker rights
We have such robust worker rights, that this is counting as spying on the employee. They were checking if they were actually sick or not.
This is illegal in germany. Anyone suing will have a good time in labor court :3
Marvellous. Fuck US work culture. May it die a swift death.
Actually the guideline for what you can do when you are on sick leave is really great here in Germany: do whatever makes you get well.
Meaning if I have a cold I might go to a nice spa, if I am depressed a concert or a festival would definitely be in order.
The idea of mental illness is another thing employers need to get in their brains first.
