So ill and stressing over work.

[TheHound86]

I’ve been really ill over the last few days with a nasty virus. Sweating very heavily and having to change my clothes every hour or so because they get drenched. Really nasty painful cough and now wheezing when I breathe. I’ve been mostly asleep. I’m supposed to be at work today but clearly couldn’t go in as I’m just too unwell. But it’s Christmas Eve so I feel guilty and I have a high sickness level this year as well unfortunately due to sickness bugs and a chronic illness flare up that resulted in quite a bit of time off. I’m really worried about getting a disciplinary when I go back. I hate letting them down but I am genuinely very ill.

Solidarity. I have the exact same situation. I only started three months ago and this is my second bout of illness (well I think it’s the same illness actually). I’ve had a total of six days off. Today is our busiest day and I’ve left them really short staffed as there a multiple people off sick. I am the store manager so even worse.

Try not to feel guilty. I think a lot
of people are in the same boat.

Aww I hope you feel better soon. There’s so much going round. I’ve been told by my boss that she’s not happy I’ve not fulfilled my hours on the busiest week of the year.
