Have a very bad cold, sore throat along with nausea. Went to work today (I work alongside my colleague in nursery kitchen just us two but she’s on holiday gets back to work Weds afternoon) however I felt very bad with my cold, sneezing & felt sick twice as well. I am thinking of phoning in sick on Monday to Weds of next week however I’m not sure if my boss would be ok with that as work colleague is holiday and I’m expected to be in but at the same time I feel very unwell and can’t work in kitchen the way I feel right now. AIBU to think it’s not really my issue and they would have to find someone to cover over the 3 days I be off sick? Or AIBU to actually be off sick for 3 days

It's Friday, wait and see how you feel Monday, you don't decide now. I hope you feel better soon OP

It’s Friday. Spend the weekend in bed, rest, lots of water and snacks. You have no idea how you’ll feel on Monday and certainly no idea of Wednesday.

This is crazy. See how you are monday.

Why would you decide now? Wait to see how you feel Monday morning.

How do you know you'll still be ill next week?

Good Lord

You have 3 night until Monday morning. You cannot decide now that you will sick on Monday based on a COLD.

How are you predicting you will still feel so ill mon-weds next week?

MissEloiseBridgerton · 27/09/2024 19:36

You can't plan sickness! You've 2 days to feel better, you likely will by Monday if it's just a cold. Honestly, this is insane.

It’s Friday, I understand giving a heads up about Monday just incase but trying to call off half of next week this far in advance is a piss take

KrisAkabusi · 27/09/2024 19:36

Surely it's too soon to decide? Particularly if you're planning on being off up to Wednesday.

Just rest up over the weekend.
