[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.

You work mostly remote and you’re still missing one or two days a week?[/quote]

You know a lot of employers (like the federal government) have a rule that you have to take leave if you're caring for a child, and can't WFH? [/quote]
