I'm not sure I possibly can be, but I feel like I need a rant anyway!
Colleague came in at 9am this morning feeling ill, she then proceeded to puke in her bin, on and off between sleeping with her head on her desk, for 4 hours!
I share an office with her, the office has no windows but is "climate controlled" and was stinking! I repeatedly told her she should go home, but she said she wouldn't unless someone came to collect her and she couldn't get a hold of anyone, so she continued to sit and puke (not emptying the bin at any point.
Finally I had to go and ask our acting manager to actually send her home as I couldn't stand being in the office any longer, or to at least go and sit in the sick room. But again she refused. Finally 4 and a bit after the first time she threw up, someone came to pick her up!
Now I am not the best with vomit, slightly phobic, but surely that is unhygienic and just horrible.
There were other people coming into our office finding her either puking or sleeping, which looks awful!
Colleague gets annoyed with people when they use sick leave as she feels you should be at work unless you are literally dying, I feel you should not come into work when that ill. I want someone to say to her that in future she needs to stay off when she is like that, or at least go home (work pay to send you home in a taxi if ill btw)
So am I horribly unsympathetic (to be fair i was sympathetic the first time it happened, 4 hours later, I wasn't!) and irrationally annoyed by this (as i said a bit phobic so not really rational) or do i have a fair point?
