Advice about calling into work due to sickness?!


Question: Advice about calling into work due to sickness!?
I dont know if i should call into work!. i really need the money, but i can get through it!. i've been sick for 3 days and i called out once already!. My manager is definetly NOT understanding and a big Witch with a B!. Im also on temporary christmas help, so the more i call out and stuff, the less likely they'll keep me and i need the job!. however, i work 1-10 today, and 9 long afternoon hours will be horrible for me!. i work with the general public and its not good to get them sick!. I'm afraid of passing out, or just getting really weak and dizzy and not getting better!. should i call out!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
That is a tough decision!. Here is my recommendations to consider in making your choice:

1!. If you are sick, have you been to the doctor!? A doctor's excuse verifying your illness will almost always prevent your employer from firing you!. In fact, it is illegal in most places to fire someone if they have a doctors excuse!.

2!. Your health is priority!. I understand that you need the money, especially in this economy, but it is not worth jeapordizing your health and safety!. If you are weak or dizzy, you should be laying down and NOT DRIVING! You could injure yourself or others if you passed out driving or at work and that would be terrible!.

3!. If you work with the public, you could pass your sickness on to them!. Elderly people, children and individuals with compromised immune systems could be affected, and, depending on what you have, it could be life threatening!.

It is my suggestion that you do not go to work if you are ill!. Go to the doctor and get a diagnosis and treatment and have them give you a doctor's excuse!. If you don't have insurance, many of the chain pharmacies now have walk in clinics that are staffed by Nurse Practitioners and it is much less expensive than going to the ER!. If you are dizzy, get a friend to drive you, or take a cab!.!.!.if its extremely serious and emergent then call 911!. Good luck and hope you get well soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should go in!. You need the money, and it's not worth feeling guilty over if you just stay home!. You called in sick once already so, like you said, your boss isn't going to be very understanding about it even though you are sick!. If I were you I would just go to work!.
It will suck, yes, but then it'll be over and you can go home and sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take some Tylenold Cold & Flu!.!.!. that should make you feel up to working!. And if you've already had your cold for a few days, I think you should be ok w/ the general public!. When you have to cough, make sure you cough into the insides of your elbows (not your hands), take some hand santizier w/ you!. If it's just the common cold and you really need the money, I suggest you stick it out and go to work!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
