so a colleague, junior, we've just been told is off sick for a month. previously she has been on at least 2 x 14 day isolating. There was an incident last week, in an online meeting - some of use were in the office, some were wfh, and basically this girl was in the office but she was sitting in the 'wrong' place - i.e. some desks were deemed 'safe' for covid, re distancing etc. Supervisor yelled at her, and (IMO) was very very harsh with her, and said she was going to be the subject of a 'disciplinary action'. The reason she was sitting in the 'wrong' desk was that the correct desk, had not been cleaned as it was full of 'junk' like a printer out of use etc etc. Anyway, superviser 2 more private meetings with her, and now she's off sick for at least a month. I don't know her , I only met her a couple of times. But I feel bad for her - what if she feels bullied. Also I think supervisor was in the office the week before 'getting it ready' but she complained then that it was up to this girl to sort out the counter - (supervisor had cleared the other desks that were to be used). I'm thinking would it be nice to arrange a card for her. Or should I just keep my head down. IABU - no card, keep to yourself. IANBU - arrange a card for colleagues to sign

I would send her a private message saying you're thinking of her and hope shes ok.i feel a communal card would be too much.

I'd contact her and ask her if she's ok. It's lovely that you care. I don't think I'd go down the communal card route. I suspect some of your colleagues will not want to risk offending your supervisor sadly.
