Don't be like me and stand up for your health and rights before it gets this far. I had COVID and followed the work 'policy'. I showed up for my first day back on Monday. I told my boss I'm still feeling some of the residuals and need to take it a little easier.
She says okay and I get bombarded with stuff about how my clients are pissed because the accounts I was working (that I asked for help with) didn't get anything done and that my morning is full. I pass out at this point and come to on the ground with everybody there. They get me water, I'm still seeing double and mention it. My boss just gets my work stuff out and takes it to my desk for me to 'help out'. It takes me a good ten minutes before I'm able to get up and I just want to be alone at this point because the brain wasn't working too well for obvious reasons.
I get to today and I'm still having these issues. I tell my boss I'm not coming in as I'd like to not pass out at work again and have to stay and she says she understands. Still having some problems I call my wife and she takes me to the ER as we're worried. I get there and they immediately start running tests for a heart attack. My blood pressure is through the roof and my breathing is labored. We're freaking out a little at this point.
The good news is I didn't have a heart attack and they let me go after hours of tests. I did get diagnosed with severe hypertension and have the rest of the week off. The bad news? No sick time left and a 3k medical bill AFTER insurance. Yeah we're calling a lawyer about this. No idea how it'll go but damn.
