So I wanted some advice of what people would do as I get conflicting advice at home
This time last year my mother passed away I had looked after her for 8 years unfortunately she got sepsis and died I had a month off from work in that time so I could be with her.
over the past year my health has declined quick I’ve had 5 sick days over the past six months I am under a consultant for suspected chrons disease and having tests for unexplained nausea which work know about last Friday I had norovirus which meant I had to take more time off work.
this week I’ve gone back into work and we have a flu outbreak I work in a care home so everyone has it all residents and try as I might I’ve caught it part way through my last shift I ended up breaking down crying as I felt severely unwell luckily I’ve got 2 days off now before I have to go back for 3 x 12 hour shifts but I don’t feel I’ll be well enough to go which would mean 6 absence in 6 months!
people already make comments like she’s phoned in sick again! And my manager even though has been given hospital and consultant letters has said we need to discuss your attendence I don’t know what to do I don’t feel like I can work 12 hour shifts in a care home wearing a mask with flu would you phone in sick or would you still try and attend?
I work on a night so don’t see my managers and once I go I’m preety much stuck there for 12 hours I wouldn’t be able to leave which is what’s putting me off
