I Refuse to Be Treated Like a Liar for Calling in Sick at Work / Bright Side

I Refuse to Be Treated Like a Liar for Calling in Sick at Work / Bright Side

Weeks later, I woke up really sick. Feverish, dizzy, barely able to get out of bed. Going to the clinic was impossible. I texted my manager to tell her I wouldn’t be coming. Her response was quick: “Send me a doctor’s note and then apply for a sick day on the portal.”

I was so sick that I finally quit. For the first time, I did not rush to explain or apologise. I simply told her that I was too sick to travel, and that I would explain the situation to HR if necessary.
