I work for old partners who are very old fashioned &racist. They don't allow wfh. I've been sick and tried very hard to power through and go to work because one of the owners hates when I wfh (I've only done so when I was sick or my spouse had covid). I went to work yesterday but had to leave as I was drenched in sweat from my fever. I had a fever again this morning and informed the owner im wfh. He forwarded my email to management along with a snarky comment. I'm very worried I'm getting fired

It doesn't sound like it's worth working for them anyway. But, if you don't have space to gamble away your job right now, just talk it out with HR.

Thank you all. As an update, did not get fired but of course still very anxious and uncomfortable, as I have been for a long time. I am in the process of going to another firm so hopefully I can give notice by the end of this week or early next week. Really do not even want to give them 2 weeks as they're so awful and I don't have matters to transition (slow firm, I'm working on one single case), but I feel like I still should.
