Sometimes we need to be protected from each other....
This is absolutely correct. I worked for a company on furlough that had a policy that you got a bonus each quarter you did not call in sick and then an annual bonus if you went the whole year not calling in sick. Of course now you had guys on their deathbeds crawling into the cockpit so they didn't screw up their bonus.
