Hi guys,
First post here, so basically I've worked for a metal foundry for 3 years now and been nothing but loyal and hard working as i really enjoy the job . It's only me and the owner who works there and we've actually usually got a good relationship. However I've been off ill for the last 3 days and actually tested positive last night so I'm currently awaiting a pcr test.
I informed my boss this and he was trying to get me to go in regardless, he's high risk anyway due to having a partial lung removal, I wasn't comfortable with this and after checking government guidelines I have been informed that I should stay home if I have symptoms. I have been on my sofa barely able to move and sweating ungodly amounts so much so that i havent been able to sleep next to my amazingly caring girl in bed for 3 nights, sorry for the tmi haha.
I am 100% sure it was his wife I was messaging as I have never had such pissy responses from him before, telling me I should come in regardless, despite the fact shes retired and from what i hear is lazy as hell and my work is all heavy manual labour and actually fairly dangerous, and I won't be getting paid for the week, which I was aware of anyway, like it was a threat.
I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve with this post and if I break any rules I apologise but I just needed to rant.
Are people really this selfish? If I passed it on to my boss he would 100% be hospitalised or worse and I could never live with myself.
If anyone needs any further proof I will show screenshots on DMs as we can't post screenshots on here anymore.
Thanks for reading and opinions are welcome 🤙
Stay safe people and have a good day.
