What a question! how do u know they are affraind to go to the hospital?   I have a friend working in a hospital and she told me they go so many people like that, and nope, they dont ask for a social if they do, they say they dont have one and is ok with the hospital. and Of course they pay the hospital or believe or not, many ones have an insurance.

keep emailing, try and email someone in the office who could also help.  It always seems to me if you call and act like you have no clue they try and help you through it.  If you get someone on the phone, don't let them off until they help you or get you in contact with someone.

well, as someone that works closely with others in a small office, i would say my greatest factor is whether I will get my coworkers sick!  A personal pet peeve is when someone comes in with a fever, sore throat, bad cough, and then everyone in the office ends up missing time at work.\n\nAlso, since I work closely with clients, I would say if I am so sick that I can not "be there" for my clients, if i can not provide the service that they are there for, then my happy butt needs to go home.

If you don't come to work, you're fired unless you had previously asked for the day off or have a doctors excuse.  No matter what race you are.

I can't take up a lot of sources to back my argument here, but from my own experience and that is that those who "hardly" work will eventually get their due. \n\nIt's not going to be always the case that they will have someone to back them up and eventually the bosses that have been misguided by their "hard work" will see the truth. \n\nSo my advice to those that do work "hard", to keep doing so, but also to not shy away from showing they work hard.  This takes confidence and you will feel it if you truly work "hard".

Telemarketers do not actually dial the phone calls.  They sit at a desk and wait to be alerted that they are being connected to a call through their call system.  It would be a waste of time for telemarketers to wait on the line for someone to answer the phone because there could be no answer or they could get your voicemail.  Your voice actually triggers the connection.  They do not hear you say hello because they have not been connected to you yet.

Yes, but only after they return to work. Cannot use sickness as a reason, but can create a reason at a later date. Sad but true.

People that call and have no idea who they are calling to talk to, or have no real information on what they are calling about and expect you to know the right person to direct them to.  Also, the telemarketers that keep calling back after you have told them that your company does not accept telemarketing calls.  People that cough and clear their throat into the phone instead of saying "excuse me" and pulling it away for a moment.  And most of all - the ones that think it is "oh-so-cute" to have their two year old ask for the person they want to speak to, as if the telephone is a toy.

Your concern for your fellow employee is very noble.It could be several things.I think you are wondering if he has a communicable disease(one you could catch)If he continues to be sick and won't help himself,you could express your concern to your human resource manager.There is only so much you can do.Good Luck

Depends where they are.  If they are at work they would not phone anyone, instead they could dispatch a unit to the communications center.  If at home they would simply call 911!

you definitly have a reason to be upset, like you said you are always considerate to others and care for them, they should have done the same for you or just rang to see if you were okay.  People do have their own lives to lead but honestly, how long does it take to make a phone call just to check up?\nIf i were you i wouldn't ring or mail until they are bothered by you not checking up on them and then when they do ring tell them that you felt you were being left to go alone and no one wanted to know.  Hopefully then they will realise you were hurt by this and they will then see they have been inconsiderate towards you.

You have no "right to work".. If you are late a couple of more times they will prove it to you permanently.

Probably because they have no friends outside of work and since we all need to vent our problems. work is the only place they have social contact

Do not call and tell a lie to get out of work. Believe me an employer knows when a lie is being told, they have heard many of them. I would call them early and see if they can find someone to work for you. Sometimes there are other employees who will gladly pick up the hours.  But be prepared to work if there is no one to cover your shift. Do what is right.

Sounds like next time you get sick you should give me a call.

Maybe a friend stopped by to check on you or maybe you misplaced your phone (check your bed covers).  You may have gotten up, eaten some fruit, moved your phone, and just don't remember.  Is there any sign of forced entry?\n\nMost people will simply feel you were to sick to remember what you did.
