I’m a customer service manager and a grocery store. About a week ago I notified my boss that I was exposed to covid. Two days later I tested before work and I was negative. While at work I started feeling sick and I had a tempature of 102.9. I was the only manager on duty so I could not leave the store unless somebody switched me.
I informed my boss via texts that I had a fever and showing symptoms. She answered “I just want today off” I informed her again I was exposed and most likely had covid. She gave me excuse after excuse about why she couldn’t switch me. She never did so I exposed a lot of people. That night I did test positive for Covid.
Fast forward to now, I’m still symptomatic including a fever. So I had to call off a few more days and she throw a fit. She sent me a nasty message stating that “You WILL be working Friday and Saturday” which is my normal days off. I can’t. I have my son and she knows this but she wants to go on her vacation. I feel like she is retaliating against me for being sick.
She should’ve let me go home but now to “punish” me by working my weekend off. That will put me at 9 days of work in a row. Am I over reacting?
