Boss knows I'm immunocompromised. I'm very open about what meds I'm on, why, and what they do. I (finally) got Covid last week, and because I'm the only employee in my office, I had to close. He owns 3 franchises, but works out of my sister office an hour and 45 mins away, so he can't fill in. He just hired a new receptionist to start last week to fill in and help, but I wasn't there to train her so he wants me to come in to train her next Mon/Tues and pull 2x 9 hr shifts over it.
Per legislation in my area, we only have to isolate for five days during the contagion period, and can return to regular activities with a well fitting mask if we feel better. Thing is, I don't feel better. Because of my (lack of an) immune system, I stay sick for much longer than regular people (a 24 hr stomach bug will last 4 days). I still feel like hot, burning garbage and am doing everything I can my to pull it together for my (5) kids for Easter because we had to cancel all our family plans because I'm sick (single mom/breadwinner)
I like my job. But he's starting to take advantage of me this year. I've been here 3+ years, I didn't get my annual raise this year, he “forgets” pay days and pays late, and I am usually the only employee so I have all the responsibilities of running my office, with none of the compensation. My DM even wrote an article on how good I am at my job and published it in the national newsletter last month, and I didn't get any recognition for that except to hear him gloat about how his staff made the newsletter twice in that month!
I might just quit over this…
