WWYD?
2 weeks ago I traveled for work. Last week I wasn’t feeling well, but still worked. This morning I told my boss I was taking the day because I’m having medical issues and was going to the ER. I was diagnosed with pneumonia. My symptoms are mainly fever, discomfort in my back, and shallow breathing. My job isn’t physically demanding, just mentally taxing and lots of talking involved. I want to take off tomorrow to rest, but I feel sooooooo guilty. I don’t think anyone, including my boss, would bat an eye, but I am a type A, worried about perception, don’t wanna let anyone down type of person. Not to mention, I was just promoted 2 weeks ago on the day I returned from my trip… this makes me feel even worse about taking off. What would you do? Am I being extra for no reason?
