Thoughts on this???

I started a new job last week and everyone was coughing, sneezing and genuinely complaining of how unwell they were, well lucky me I have now caught this viral infection and I’m really ill. I’m psychically bed bound and struggling to speak, I’m shivering, I’ve got a temperature of 38.7, my bones are aching, cold symptoms etc.

I dragged myself out of bed to get ready for work but I couldn’t do it, I felt like I was going to pass out and the thought of a 10 hour shift was killing me inside.

After much thought I had to call in sick. I really really didn’t want to as this looks bad as I’ve just started my job but what can I do when I’m this ill? My manager threatening to sack me if I didn’t come in and kept telling me this looks bad on me as I’ve just started. Which I get but if I can’t even make it out the house then how can I drive 45 minutes to work and do a 10 hour shift?

She said she would speak to me when I’m next in on Monday about this.

I’m nervous.

Sorry I needed a rant, I’m so annoyed. This is why people are scared to call in sick these days.
