I work as a receptionist at a law firm and yesterday at work I started getting body aches and chills and pushed myself through the rest of the day because 2 weeks ago I was sick and took a half day and the next day off so I was scared to tell them I was sick again. After I was off I went home and just went straight to my bed feeling feverish and like I got hit by a truck. I texted my boss that I couldn't come in today and she didn't respond with anything. Later the big boss, the owner asks me to call him and I do (he's a family friend and the one that got me the job in the first place) otherwise I would usually just ignore it. And he tells me that everyone's saying I called in sick again and how it's unacceptable for the type of job I had bc everyone is relying on me and it's not like other jobs and we can't just call in sick all the time unless we're projectile vomiting or something. And now I feel bad bc I'm the only receptionist and it sucks when the paralegals have to answer the phones when they're busy enough already. But I can't help that I'm sick like I can barely walk to the bathroom without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. Let alone having to drive to work and do other things for them like go to the court and all the other side stuff they have me do. It sucks because I feel like they think I'm lying.
