[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say exactly what my symptoms were and leave it up to my employer, especially with an infant.[/quote]

I came down with the flu--102 fever. All day Saturday, body ached so much Breathing was painful, coughing, sneezing.  By Tuesday, I got dressed and finally feel like my old self today.  You stay home until you feel like you can work the entire day without being exhausted.[/quote]

I work whether I'm exhausted or not, if my employer absolutely needs me there.  I make it clear what my symptoms are, what I'm comfortable doing and what I'm going to refuse to do.  If, after hearing all of that, my employer wants me to work, they are the one choosing to expose their child.[/quote]

Obviously, you love playing the martyr.  Go for it.[/quote]

+1. PP, take responsibility for yourself. Are you too sick to work? Then you call in sick. Don't try to make this your employers problem. Of course they would prefer you to do your job rather than not. They aren't in your body and they don't know how you feel. It's so immature. (And $10 says the next day you post on here saying, "I've got the flu and my employer wants me to work!")[/quote]

I'm a live-in nanny.  Unless I'm physically incapable of getting out of my bed, I offer my employer the choice.[/quote]
