I hate feeling like I can’t leave work when I’m sick

My bosses are always like- we’d prefer it if you come in and we can get you out. Nope. They wanted me to “stick it out.” Meanwhile I had gotten 3 hours of sleep, then I was throwing up too. What I have isn’t contagious. I hate how trapped I felt. I was literally begging to leave. But I’m a single mom and I need this job. It pays well, just the lack of sympathy is what gets me. I’m just frustrated. I hate feeling like I can’t leave work or I’ll get fired. Next time I’m just calling out ahead of time.
