So this is the second time I’ve gotten sick with a minor cold. The symptoms are mild except it really does a number on my voice. I work at a eikaiwa and my manager just says as long as I’m “ok”(no covid or fever) I should still come in.
I feel like my students question why I’m still teaching in this condition and it feels like a disservice to them. But no one can cover my hours and I feel like I’m expected to keep working because it isn’t serious enough or I haven’t lost my voice completely.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any advice? Should I just call out sick next time this happens? Thanks.
