Got Covid, had a deadline

Worked at my firm for 6 months, I tested positive last Friday for the big 19, we had a contractual deadline on Wednesday for our client. My boss leaves for another firm on Thursday and has completely checked out as of 6 weeks ago, my understudy isn't experienced enough to prepare what is required for the deadline. So I decided to WFH Monday through Wednesday to hit the deadline and avoid all the drama and bullshit that would have come my way if we missed it. Got no thanks from my company or the client. No understanding when there was a minor error in the submission, I tried to take Thursday as sick and I keep getting pulled in to do whatever unimportant horseshit the bosses needed who would then ask “are you OK” to which I'd reply something along the lines of “no actually I'm worse than yesterday”…. silence…

Got no thanks from my company or the client. No understanding when there was a minor error in the submission, I tried to take Thursday as sick and I keep getting pulled in to do whatever unimportant horseshit the bosses needed who would then ask “are you OK” to which I'd reply something along the lines of “no actually I'm worse than yesterday”…. silence …. then swept under the carpet so the business chat can commence.

All this from a company which prides itself on looking after its employees' physical and mental health.

I'm an idiot for working when not well, an idiot for thinking that they give a shit about me. I've just declined all meetings tomorrow and going to turn off my phone tomorrow. Fuck them.

Sorry needed to rant.
