Being ill is absolutely no fun. If it’s a certain degree of bad, it will make you feel like you can’t see or speak to anyone. You just want to crawl into a deep dark hole until you’re fully rested and healed again. You don’t want to get out of bed. You don’t want to eat or drink. And you certainly don’t want to talk to your boss. Of course, you’ll have to get them on the phone every now and then so you can call out of work, but it’s the boss’ job in this situation to be understanding. You have to trust your employees and give them the grace that you would want someone to give you. 

But that’s not what happened in this story, where a worker’s trust was betrayed by their boss. Read on for the details and see what you would have done in their situation.
