[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You took a nap in your office for THREE HOURS? Nobody noticed? They should fire you because clearly your job isn’t even needed. [/quote]

Op here, nobody noticed. I mostly work remote so they maybe assumed I was working from home. I’ve never done anything like this before. It wasn’t intentional. The work I do is highly technical/specialized and I have a lot of independence. I think that’s part of why nothing has happened yet-I’m the only person in my office that can do this type of work.

At the time of the nap incident, I didn’t realize it but I had the flu. I had already missed so much work and was so behind with everything and I had a meeting that was mandatory in person, so I pushed through. One of my kids later tested positive for the flu and then I tested positive.

Did you mark the three hours you were asleep as leave?  Because otherwise you committed time card fraud and that is definitely a fire able offense. You clearly need help and got lucky no one saw you or noticed. I would take the time you need before something like this happens again.[/quote]
You don’t know where OP works. You have no idea if she is even required to record her time. Shut up.[/quote]

Yes, OMG, seriously. Clearly OP doesn't think this is OK either. She's worried and sick and exhausted.

OP, I agree that you should take some real leave to recover, and talk about the situation with your bosses and find out if they have performance concerns. This is bad but it won't last forever. My fall and spring were like that last year, when masks went off and every virus tore through the day cares. We're waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the frequency is finally getting better. I didn't get fired, or even dinged on my review.[/quote]
