First off I texted my boss this, 

Hey tegan im experiencing a fever from what i believe is from getting the first dose of the vaccine so i wont be coming in thur and possibly for the whole week because of the covid thing im just not feeling well rn and im not willing to risk my health / getting that from someone, i cant believe that we as a company arent going to be at the very least masking up for at least two weeks and everyone should get covid tested to make sure it didnt spread to more people.

ive looked up cdc guidelines and we can pick and choose those all day, i have chronic asthma and its bad unfortunately, im high risk.

Ive been very mellow and calm during this whole pandemic about covid but its too close to home now and i have to put my health first and if i could make gummies at my house i would.

I know this really sucks and everyone is going to hate me and view me as a wimp and production will be screwed up, but my cousin almost died from covid last week and my whole family in florida has it currently, so i take this really seriously especially since im pretty much guaranteed to go to the icu if i contract it, i really hope you understand ive always been forward with you but im not willing to risk it especially since im not fully vaccinated.

Again i really hope you understand.


I havent heard from my boss all day , they dont seem to realize the severity of the situation,  so im here and its almost 8pm and i feel selfish for some reason even though i know its safer to saty home, but at the same time i know me not being there is going to screw them over, so im getting anxious because my boss hasnt said a single thing which obviously shows her frustration.

It doesnt help that like everyone else at my work is still going so i feel like the black sheep, the company i work for is focused more on making money and convincing everyone that everthing is fine so they dont get behind , there are no wellness checks daily cleaning , we are all packed tight like sardines in a small warehouse and almost no one wears a mask , so i quess im asking what should i do? Should i message my boss and ask if they got my message?
