How much work did you miss?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have been sick for 8 weeks now and I have missed 8 weeks of work. i am not getting paid so it is a huge financial burden, but I do not feel well enough to sit up for more than 30 min at a time, let alone a whole day. How much work did you miss and when did you know you were ready to go back? I'm afraid I will lose my job. I love my job and I am really scared.

    I do a desktop job work ( computer engineer) and work timings 9to5 mostly sedantary work type ... So went to office most of the days even with fever 101 F.... The trick i used is for every 3 hours of work i will try to take 15 mins break/nap and 15 days once i will take a day off . I feel lot better on the day offs ... This is how i m trying to balance my work and sick life .....It all depends upon the nature of work....Hope you get back to work soon
