Should I go to work tomorrow? TMI alert

I've just had copious vomiting and had to run to the loo several times.

I have a large workload this week. Should I go to work tomorrow?

Feel weak.

No!

No, of course you shouldn't. You could make someone else ill. (Unless you're pretty sure it was food poisoning?)

No, you most likely wouldn’t be up to it and it wouldn’t be fair on those you might make sick.

BedraggledBlitz · 04/06/2019 18:49

Of course not, get well soon.

Of course not - you'll give your bug to your colleagues!

No. Our workplace rule is 48 hours off after vomiting

Auramigraine · 04/06/2019 18:52

nooooooo

MidsomerBurgers · 04/06/2019 18:54

NO!

48 hours clear from your last symptom before you return to work!

If you’re a teacher... it’s easier to go in 🤷🏻‍♀️

It may have been a large lunch coupled with work stress or food poisoning... It came on 1 hr after lunch. But can't be sure...

Don't be so selfish.

BigGapMum · 04/06/2019 19:07

Could you work from home if you feel well enough?
