If it was really bad, I'd take off two days. First day I would go to the doctor and get all the meds I need. Then rest and take meds for two days. By the third day, with the help of temporary relief medicine, I should be symptom-free and non-contagious.
This is the problem with my job (and many others).
Good job people can take the time they need to get well. Crappy job people can get fired for having a cold.
It's sick.
Pretty much this. I tend not to take days off at all, even if I'm deathly ill. I'll just be less active at work and of course the boss will say "why don't you just take the day off!" and you know if you do you'll probably be written up. I came to work once with bad allergies. My eye was red, my voice was muffled, and they all thought I had pinkeye. The job was customer service heavy. You think I took the day off? Lol.
Always the first 3 days when I know I'm contagious, at least.
I'm self employed.
