I remember when Covid first started making its way around the United States. We had a protocol in place at work that if any of our co workers or clients ( or anyone in the household) tested positive that the people involved would have to quarantine then test negative to come back to the clinic. Also the owners would send out an email letting us know that someone tested positive so that if we had contact with that person but were not told prier, that we would be able to follow the above stated steps. The owner of our clinic was not informing us of anything and we were finding out about positive cases in our office just by talking with one another. I was going to meet with my boss solo and have a conversation stating that i was uncomfortable with the situation she has put me in. However i found that there were many others that were going to approach her as a group in a meeting requested by the staff. Since the…
