Hello,
I've started a great job recently (about 4 months) and everything has been fine. However I was feeling very run down and ill yesterday and I couldn't think of anything to do other than take a sick day (it's a very physical, fast-paced job). I feel really guilty because someone else would have had to cover my shift and it would have been a big ask. As well as that, the whole team is affected if someone is away.
I really like this job and my team and feel really shit about what happened but it couldn't be helped. How to I stave off any possible resentment when I go in tomorrow? Should I apologise to everyone? Stay quiet and keep to myself? I don't know why I feel so guilty when I was sick. If you have any advice I would be very grateful.
(Also I am coming up with strategies to keep up my health and physical wellbeing to avoid this happening again)
