I know the pandemic stuff has sort of blown over and there aren't any restrictions anymore but if I get covid it means I will have to miss travelling back home (for the first time since before Christmas) for my niece's birthday because my nan is unwell and my mum is her primary carer. Am I over reacting?? Or is it reasonable to be upset that we didn't get informed at all and had no choice in working with a positive case? It's a big warehouse but I work directly with this coworker, we share tools and in some situations we can't distance.
