Hi,

I've fear I have had a coughing fit on the phone with the wrong person, I have my Manager now asking very directly am I'm unwell.

Should this be allowed? I didn't want to take time of ill as can't bare thought of wages being messed about and silly loyalty and when I tried for annual leave before some training course last week where the vast majority of us turned up ill with this whole cough/cold anyway, leave wasn't approved.

Surely the call centre operations could block a call coming through to me, if I have had a complaint listed against myself with them in the past.

They could be checking your welfare but having a coughing fit is unprofessional.

Yeah I did know that to say sorry, I also did not realise the silent mute button does the same as hold music so it has been really apparent for the past fortnight 😥I'm done for.

Say yes you’re unwell and remind you tried to take leave and that you caught it at work training event. Blame the company!
