[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys sound like jerks. I have been home sick since Monday. I sent my boss a status report on Monday morning. I delegated meetings to other team members and sent emails for meetings I was going to miss. But when I said I was sick, I was not well enough to be checking email, typing up reports, etc. I don't try to take the easy way out. But I think it is ridiculous to contact someone who is out sick about non urgent issues. I feel like my boss is a control freak.

I am not calling in or checking emails. Like I said, she was texting me on my personal cell. We only have cell phones and not a home phone so it was buzzing and I checked it.

I've been a manager and team leader before and you shouldn't have all heck break out because a staffer is out three days. It happens sometimes.

Assuming you took fmla, that's 12-16 weeks of leave in the past year. Yes, it's important, and yes, you are entitled to it, but you were out of the office for one quarter to one third of the past year. Not a strong argument.
