Hi I am a teacher by profession this other time I was sick so I went in to work because I had some paper work that needed to be submit the intention was to do that then inform my principal that I am not feeling well I am going to the Dr he told me that he is also sick but he is coming to work mind you at that time I woke up with my face swollen, had a rash and couldn't even talk properly because I had a gum infection.I cried so much I was so hurt then told one of my colleagues he called the union steward they came and went to speak to the principal and he said he didn't say that. The principal later comes to me to ask why am I acting like we're fighting he just wanted me to do my job,but I can't do my job when I am sick. This guy always make me feel bad when I am absent or asking to leave work early because I am not feeling well this other time he asks if I can't just buy Panado to help me get through the day. At this point I don't even care I just text him when I'm sick and then he'll get over it atleast I'll be okay. My health comes first, the way this guy's treatment affected me at some point I was sick and then given time off just to relax and now put on anti-depressants, my blood pressure is always high. I hate my job because of this guy.
