In July my husband tested positive for Covid. I told my direct supervisor. She told me to stay home and test for a week. Two days in I was sick. Day three I tested positive with a home test. Went and got a PCR that day. Results took 2 days to get, but when I did I told my boss (I was still in the week they told me to stay home).
My boss packed up my desk the day I told her I was positive and mailed it to my home. When I got it, there was no explanation. I texted her and she said “a letter is in the mail”. I had no idea if I had health insurance. If I was being paid. Nothing.
I’m trying to find a job. I am still waiting on unemployment. It’s taking a huge toll on my mental health. I can’t believe this is legal to fire someone for being sick with Covid.
