#i know fuck this company they shouldn't have one person who is the linchpin and they brought this upon themselves

[terrorbirb]

Monday my coworker cleared his throat on me when talking to me for 3 minutes, and I immediately put on a mask, disinfected and moved everything I had to the conference room because he obviously had something. I also immediately told my boss who "was wondering if he should send him home". All of that, but apparently that was enough to get me sick.

Here's the thing, and I know this isn't how it works, I got it from a coworker at work and did EVERYTHING in my power to not get it so i could continue work, so I should get my sick days paid even though I don't have any more PTO. I'm still going to work with a mask on in the warehouse because I, specifically, am needed to complete physical inventory which is incredibly important, but I had to go home at 3pm because I was on the verge of fainting. If I cannot complete these last 2 weeks of work, my company will fall apart, which is why I gave a 5 week notice instead of 2 and delayed starting my new job. I know "fuck this company", but I have enough pride to not want things to be worse than they already are because I Built This Place. I want all the systems I designed to work.

Tldr if a coworker got me sick because my boss didn't send him home when he knew he should, and I took measures to limit my exposure right after being exposed, then I should get my sick hours paid.

#totes bro #all of this to say my boss is PISSED at the coworker even though he shares culpability #which fair anyway but im here to close out the books and wrap up the year as well as document everything #as well as I am literally the only person other than my boss working next week because i always dont take Christmas week off #but that means im covering #i dont take Christmas week off because i don't celebrate Christmas and i want people who do to have their time #because thats important to them when for me its just that i can opportunistically have over a week off while only taking 3 days #Im leaving im leaving im leaving finally i have done what you guys say #but i am so annoyed and sad #i cannot explain how critical it is for me to be here at end of year to close things out regardless of whether or not i leave #the whole company had to shift work schedules because my wife was in the hospital once and i couldn't come in #but now im leaving #i know fuck this company they shouldn't have one person who is the linchpin and they brought this upon themselves #'in exchange for some pto now you are allowed 10 texts that i will respond to after i leave' #generous!
