I always wondered if I was in the wrong…

A few weeks ago I got aggressively sick. Throwing up non-stop for multiple days and had to go to urgent care kind of sick. When I did go, they advised I stay home to rest and rehydrate (along with other treatment of course.) The job I work is one of those “if no one is there the place falls apart,” kind of positions.

You're going to need to work something out and reach out to your coworkers personally to ask for coverage.”
