Or is my boss pathetic for being put out over the fact I have Laryngitis!?

[Liliannna1]

I've lost my voice and all the usual stuff that comes with it, coughing, wheezing etc. I feel fine in myself so have still been going to work however my boss is very put out by the fact i have lost my voice as it means I cannot do my job properly as I can barely speak.

Please tell me, as this isn't something I've brought on myself, does she have a leg to stand on?!

How dare you lose your voice on company time. Absolutely irresponsible of you I'd have fired you on the spot for non compliance

Does your job involve a lot of talking? If not, and if you can communicate through other means - email, instant messaging etc. then your boss doesn't get to say that you can't show up for work.

However, if your job does involve talking, then perhaps you could get signed off on sick leave for a day or two by your GP and then return to work all recovered?
