Don’t dial in. You’re sick. Take some NyQuil and get some rest. Feel better OP!

At the end of the day your health is more important than work. I was so sick and I ghosted meeting and emails as I was bedridden. I felt bad but at the end of the day you have to take care of yourself.

Also I was on PTO being asked to work over the holidays. I am not recommending ghosting but when I was sick I was basically in the bathroom and bedroom for days. Probably should have gone to the hospital but couldn’t move. I am sorry but I am not checking my phone for work emails if I got a phone call and I am awake I would answer but otherwise I am dead to the world. I had the flu and then it turned in penumonia. So sorry not sorry.

Decline it?

1. If you are out sick, don’t check your e-mail. They can call if it’s really that important.
2. The flu has killed an average of 40k people annually in the US in the past decade. You need the rest. (I tried to get my doctor to reduce my sick time for the flu last year and she was quick to remind me of this. I’m in my late 20s.)

Probably too late to give advice, but how did you handle?

Email that you’re drugged up on NyQuil and were sleeping all day . Ask them what the call is about and if it can wait.
