What if I get called in for work tomorrow while I wait for the Covid 19 test results? What do I say?

I don’t wanna risk anyone getting harmed because I might have it. I don’t want to be selfish and I’m not a selfish person.

I am feeling a lot better than the last couple of days. I did tell my boss that I took the test on Friday and I get my Covid 19 test results from 2-5 days but on the paper I was told I would have to self quarantine until I get the results. I did that for three days. If I feel better tomorrow, should I go to work while I wait for my results. My dad said I should stay home but call my boss tomorrow morning but take care of myself be I would be putting everyone at risk. I work at a pet store.

@BalmyNites Exactly. My dad says IF my boss keeps trying to get me to work tell him firmly that I need to wait for the results and don’t do a stupid thing by going into work without knowing the results!

@LaylaTheTallGirl Then your boss is breaking the law - don’t let him bully you 🤗

@BalmyNites that’s true. Even though if I feel better tomorrow and didn’t get the results I should still stay home right? I don’t wanna break the law and go to jail.

@LaylaTheTallGirl It’s nothing to do with how you FEEL

You HAVE to stay at home until you get the result

If not, you will be breaking the law

@BalmyNites Oh shit!! I don’t wanna go to jail. Thank you so much. We’re going to jail right?

@LaylaTheTallGirl No, you’re not going to jail

You’re simply telling the boss no - you cannot come into work until you know your results are clear

@BalmyNites Okay thank you. I just hope I don’t lose my job.

@LaylaTheTallGirl You won’t lose your job

Just be firm but polite 🤗
