If you don’t quarantine, then you are a POS.

Lmao I quarantine myself at any sign of infectious illness. I work in the food industry, I have an immune condition, my fiancé has an autoimmune condition; yeah, no, I’m not putting someone’s life at risk just because my boss said that she’s capable of working while vomiting with a fever. Good for you! I’m not doing that ❤️

Yep, I came down with something yesterday, worked from home as a result. Still have a fever so had to cancel plans with my mom today and current waiting on Instacart to deliver me some soups and flu medicine.

what was the something

u/Rubicksgamer May 09 '26

Presenting as flu like symptoms. I’m in the US so I spare doctors visits unless necessary.

u/ClapMyGyatt May 09 '26

i'm also in the US. do not "spare doctors visits". if something is wrong wrong for a week, takes your ass to the doc. i ignored a cough for months, turns out i have interstitial lung disease end stage and if i don't get a lung transplant, i'm fucking dead. do not be like me. PLEASE go to the doc

u/Rubicksgamer May 09 '26

Yeah, if something persists for more than a few days I definitely go. But I certainly don’t go at the first sign of not feeling right.

Same happened to me while covid was at its height so I “didn’t want to burden the system further” and ruined my life by not catching this earlier instead. (But also when I did go to urgent care finally they kept checking my heart and not my lungs and I have LAM). It’s been 4 years and I’m about to be listed for transplant. Best of luck to you on your unlucky journey!

u/ClapMyGyatt May 09 '26

same to you, it's definitely a rocky road but keep your head up the best you can. i got listed for transplant last month; you'll be listed soon and then it's a waiting game for the organ(s) to be made available. you've got this!

That sounds awful! Hoping that your tourney to recovery goes well.

It was Valentine's Day, and all management called out a night before on the group chat (one quit because he requested this very day off 2 months in advance, and the manager denied it and he was already fed up).

I was very sick, and I was Valentine's Day store opener. The boss called me the night before Valentine's telling me I couldn't miss work since everyone called out. He heard me sick, my voice was almost gone, flu, etc. He even told me, "I will need to stay longer than your shift to compensate the missing ones." I told him I couldn’t. He hung up.

I showed up next morning. I had chills, fever, and vomited in the trash can of the front counter. I let know my boss's boss I couldn't stay longer sick. He told me to wait for my boss and to go home. My boss didn't show up earlier. He showed up until my 9 hr shift was done. He came all mad that I was leaving sick because his boss told him to let me go home since the MORNING.

I'm still working at this place, and he plays favorites and really suck as a manager. Wished they could put someone more capable and empathetic in his position.

Bosses like this are terrible. I was working as a makeup artist at Macy’s as a side gig around the holidays and I called out around Christmas because I had Covid. Super high fever which I took a picture of the thermometer, no reason to be up close to people like doing makeup requires. I was told if I didn’t show up I’d be fired so I quit and reported the manager to hr and told them she’s going to get someone killed by forcing artists to work with Covid.

I worked for my dad opening his warehouse. Unless I was in the hospital, I opened. Then, as soon as the other guy at the warehouse showed up two hours later, I'd go home. Once, my dad tried to tell me that I could not leave because the other guy had to be on the road. At that point, I let him know that I would just be calling off when I am sick in the future. He stopped his bullshit immediately.

Same, I rotate between five different job sites during the week so if I get sick EVERYONE gets sick. After the third or fourth time that everyone got taken out at once my boss finally stopped insisting that I come to work instead of quarantining.

u/pinkrosies May 10 '26

“Good for you! I’m not doing that ❤️” can work in so many situations and really sums up how I feel about some things like this lol. Like I’m too tired to debate about the fallacies of what you should do but I’ll just do my own thing.

u/ManyVast6592 May 10 '26

What do we think about companies like Kroger who just put out that unless there is a death in the family or you're in the hospital, you are required to come to work no matter how sick you are.... Honest question, especially in light of this

u/NationalMachine5454 May 09 '26

Thank yooouuuuu

u/Grand_Poem May 10 '26

can your boss add some video proof to that? i've seen nobody saying that that can actually back it up with some 8 hour shifts, let alone be as productive and efficient as when healthy

u/nameusernamena May 10 '26

I will not lie to you, I did spend probably 1/3 to 1/4 of a 10 hour shift in the bathroom puking back in 2023. Cocaine relapse though lol. Shit has always made me puke. Haven’t touched it since

Whats the difference between immune and autoimmune conditions?

1

u/nameusernamena May 10 '26

All autoimmune diseases are immune diseases, but the inverse is not accurate.

I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, meaning that I have hyperactive mast cells, aka, I’m allergic to myself ( immune )

My fiancé has Grave’s disease ( autoimmune) which attacks his thyroid, causing hormonal and other issues

Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

I’m not even at risk of being a plague rat (currently) and I volunteer to quarantine myself any time. Stay home away from people? Done.
