Ok your outfit looks good. I am going to chide you for going to work sick. You just exposed your coworkers and customers, not cool.

Anna:

  • I stayed home two days during one of our busiest times, while short-staffed 3 people.
  • We have other coworkers who have been working with lingering coughs or stuffy noses and not complaining.
  • Everyone with kids said the guideline is to keep them home until 24 fever-free hours have passed, and I did follow that guideline, much to my monetary detriment.
  • I do not have any paid time off yet, and I do not share funds with my husband, so this job is my only source of income, and this is one of the highest-selling times of the year. I already gave up multiple time-sensitive sales appointments to other stylists because of the cold.
  • Most colds are contagious before symptoms onset and I would have exposed my coworkers already.
  • And sinus infections don't spread the same way as cold of the flu, plus can take over 2 weeks to clear. I get the same thing every year... a short cold that passes in 1-2 days but causes my sinuses to get infected and take around 2 weeks to clear up completely. If any one is ready to buy me a 2 week vacation for the common good, I would gladly jump at the chance...

Ok, sorry, didn't realize the extent of your situation. Thanks for explaining.
