To tell DH's work to piss off?

[MacNcheese87]

DH called in sick today. He's very poorly with a D&V bug and he's gone back to bed with a bucket, wrapped up in countless layers because he has a low grade fever and chills.

He called in sick at 6.30am this morning, not sure who he spoke to (whether it was too early for the managers to be in, but he still spoke to someone in the office).

Since then, his phone has rang 3 times, all work. I don't usually have anything to do with his work, I'm not his mum, but AIBU to answer it and tell them to piss off?

They pile on so much pressure to not call in sick. Yesterday the tummy troubles began and he went in and explained to them he wasn't well. They said if he's well enough to come in then he's well enough to work, which wasn't true. He works as a driver so there isn't easy access to a bathroom.

He's much worse today. I suspect they will be angry he isn't answering his phone but he's upstairs really unwell and I'm downstairs next to his phone. I think when he wakes up he will be very worried about all the missed calls and hassle he will get when he's well enough to go back in.

Yeah, and don't say D&V, say violent diarrhoea and vomiting - be explicit, sometimes that helps people to get into thier heads that you really are unwell.
I too used to work in an industry that couldn't accept your illness, I've3 had to go into work and throw up i front of them (well run to the bathroom, but basically) before they were willing to believe I was too ill to be there. another time i was hugely distressed after a friends death, couldn't get the day off. thank god i am out of that now, some industries and employers are like abusive relationships.
ne super polite but explicit and get them to back off.

I would answer and be polite but firm; he's very unwell, he can't come to the phone, he definitely won't be well enough to work tomorrow and he will call them tomorrow to let them know about Thursday.

If he is sipping water then he won't dehydrate.
just answer the phone and say he is unwell and ask for company policy about calling in tomorrow.
