Q: A senior member of our team came in to work recently smothering with a cold. A polite inquiry as to whether she might prefer to work from home was met with a dismissal.
Later that day we had a department meeting in a small room, where it was too cold to open the window. My worst fears were realised when two other staff subsequently came down sick, having no doubt picked up the infection at the meeting.
