The Washington Post is interested in food and restaurant workers' experiences with sick time and calling out. We're writing a story about the lack of paid sick time in the food industry, and we're looking for people to share their experiences with sick days. We want to hear about your experience in the industry, how you'd describe the work culture around sick time, and what you do when you get sick.
Have you worked while sick, been denied sick days, or lost income by taking a day off? Do you work for a boss who discourages calling out sick -- or one who gives you paid sick time? Are you a manager who has to deal with employees calling out? Does your workplace have a policy that you think others should follow?
The Post wants to hear from you. Feel free to drop a note in the comments or message us privately.

Ancient in this sense has a fairly specific meaning - it refers to the period from the first human written records until the end of Classical Antiquity. This is not the place to share pseudoscientific content, ancient conspiracy theories or modern interpretations of ancient spiritualism and shamanism - that content will be removed and posters banned.

From Ellen Francis:
Gas workers were digging to lay a pipeline in a street on the outskirts of Peru’s capital when they uncovered a burial site believed to be up to 1,000 years old with eight bundles of funeral belongings, most of them thought to have belonged to children.
The discovery of bones, alongside relics such as ceramics and wooden tools, in northern Lima’s Carabayllo district suggests it may have been a site where the children were buried dating to pre-Hispanic times, although further lab analysis will be carried out to better understand the findings, according to Peruvian media.
An archaeologist at gas company Cálidda, Jesus Bahamonde, told reporters Friday that among the eight bundles found so far were what the archaeologists believe to be the remains of six children and two adults, wrapped in cloth along with artifacts as burial offerings.
He said they probably date back to the pre-Inca Ychsma culture that was formed in the valleys of modern-day Lima centuries ago.
“We are recovering those leaves of the lost history of Lima that is just hidden under the tracks and streets,” Bahamonde told the Associated Press.
Archaeologist Mercedes Vara, who examined the latest findings at the excavated site in Lima, told Spanish news agency EFE that the remains were wrapped in cotton and leaves.
Lima is home to hundreds of archaeological or sacred sites, where ruins have offered a deeper look at the past, including the health, cultural and societal conditions of Indigenous civilizations.
