I’m a nanny, 3 weeks into a new job and on probation for a further 5 weeks.
I had 1 day off sick last week with what the docs, and I (having had it several times before) said was bronchitis. So I had 1 day off then they asked me to come back into work. They seem to be of the mindset that we’re all going to get it anyway which I don’t agree with but last week I was advised it wasn’t COVID-19 so I went back to work.
I’ve now developed a dry persistent cough which I have had before with bronchitis but bronchitis normally lasts longer then a few days. Obviously 111 advise is self isolation for a week. If I do this, can they fire me?!
Please don’t all jump on me, I know if I need to self isolate then I need to self isolate but fuck, I need this job also. I will be totally fucked without it
