Rant/Advice – Being Told to Work On Weekend Due To Sore Throat

First of all, I apologize for formatting as I am mobile. This is mostly a rant but advice is always welcome. Feel free to tell me I’m in the wrong for being annoyed as well. I have a job where I can work from home. I am more impactful on site but I am able to use video calls, text messages, emails, and phone calls to fulfill my day to day job, Covid has taught us this. My company also has a policy in place still that if we display covid symptoms we are not to report to work. I have a sore throat and feel as though I may be coming down with something… I could still go for a jog if I wished though. As I explained this to my boss today and explained I was more than capable of fulfilling my duties from home for the week…

I have a job where I can work from home. I am more impactful on site but I am able to use video calls, text messages, emails, and phone calls to fulfill my day to day job, Covid has taught us this.

I have a sore throat and feel as though I may be coming down with something… I could still go for a jog if I wished though. As I explained this to my boss today and explained I was more than capable of fulfilling my duties from home for the week they proceeded to tell me to take tomorrow off to rest and to report to work, in person on the weekend.

This doesn’t impact any plans I had however I am rather annoyed that this wasn’t a conversation but a demand and now the expectation is that I have to work on what was my day off.

Am I wrong for being annoyed?
