I had to get a note saying due to my 'polyuria' I must use the bathroom on a frequent basis. I love my doctor. He purposely puts the wrong rtn to work day on there so I have extra days off...so bad and yet so nice...It helps when the company you work for says they will accomodate those with chronic illness (such as myself- cancer & tx's) but then don't follow through. AND THEN your best friend brings a sick note but was over his allowed sicks days so was fired, which is illegal- so sues the same company...ahhh and since than, no one has been fired regarding sick days/notes....ahh ha ha evil laughs!!

My Bobo was just diagnosed with TB due to THIS EXACT policy in the call center cube farm he worked at. They had 57 people test positive due to 1 dude, who just thought he had a cough for a long time, and had to go to work because of this policy. Plue their bennies sucked, so even if he had gone to the doctor faster, it wouldn't have mattered. At least it's latent and not active, but still. This kind of policy sucks donkey ass. Dude.

You couldn't call in sick unless you had a sub and could produce a doctor's note. It was such bullshit. Haha, I worked at Einsteins Bagels for like a month and they were exactly the same way.

We disinfect most of the surfaces we touch and are more aware of germs then I'm sure your co-workers are. Perhaps if you were less quick to make assumptions, you wouldn't be having that 'tough time emotionally' you mention in your blog. Sadly the owner doesn't come in very often so nobody can really stage an infectious death scene for him. no, ha we have no health plan.

Lick the rim of his coffee cup (it couldn't make you sicker than you already feel!). Cough on those special overlooked places like his door handle & light switch. I'd even go so far as to pick my nose & deposit the gems on his stapler- but that's just me. You can come up with more creative embellishments. Later, when no one's looking, lay down on the floor of the breakroom, copier room or bathroom- a place where you won't be discovered immediately so as to allow you a bit more "down time". Place yourself in a position that appears like you had fallen down from passing out. If you want to go all out, hold your breath for as long as you can to further enhance the flushed look on your face. (Also if you happen to have any undisclosed bruise on your leg, arm or hip it will further help your cause!) Disheveled hair across your face is killer! Keep your eyes closed & keep holding your breath (sneaking breaths so that you don't really pass out!) until someone walks & finds you. When they are able to get you to "come to" babble nonsense about the McCleary account being trapped in the microwave (or whatever would be appropriate to your line of work- involving a customer or client name & a bizare inanimate object). Act like you are struggling to get up but haven't the strength. (Any previous acting experience will really pay off with this one, just don't get all "theatrical" or it'll turn into a comedy.) Someone should be calling 911 or emergency services at this point while others are commanding for the rest to "back off & give her some room". You may be offered sips of water which you should let dribble down the front of your shirt as you fall back in a heap. Soon, you will be whisked off to a medical facility where they will care for you at the expense of your employer. You will even be given written instructions for a few days rest (one of the requirements of your S&M boss!). Since you suffered a work related injury (remember that "undisclosed bruise"?!), due to your boss' negligence, you will be paid to lay at home for a few days & maybe even receive some compensation for your "pain & suffering" (there's a lawyer for every need). I did this with a boss just like yours. It only works once so make it count for something big. When my lawyer found out about the boss' "come in to work even when sick" policy (which like in your case was a posted memo- evidence for my cause!!) it caused a sweet chain reaction involving OSHA among others. You will be a hero & your boss will get the spanking he so much deserves! Next time you’re sick go into your bosses office & cough all over his desk, phone, chair & desk accessories.
