[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of sympathy, OP. But seriously, call out sick. Take a couple days, then have your spouse take a couple days, then restart at a slower pace that allows time for rest and family.  This is going to be a long term thing and you need to pace yourself. Your kids need you rested and sane.

Companies that behave like yours (delusional, inflexible) are already losing productivity as employees get sick and buildings close. If they were smarter they would be flexible now, to avoid that. If they won't be smart then you need to _take_ the flexibility you need even if that means late delivery of a work product. Negative business impacts is a pretty minor concern right now, do the bare minimum to keep your job.[/quote]

With all due respect, I’m not sure you have a job like OP does. I don’t know what she does and I don’t consider myself to be that important in the grand scheme of things but right now my work needs me. I can’t call in sick. Maybe in a few weeks if things slow down a bit, but not right now. OP may be in the same boat so your advice is flippant and not helpful. [/quote]
