Is anyone willing to share their experience with having to take time off because of Covid? I just got it (I’ve never had it before) and I’m doing ok so far but paranoid that I’m about to start feeling a lot worse. Are managers relatively understanding or are they going to expect me to work regardless?

Most people are understanding. It's not like some obscure illness. You may have to provide proof of a positive test in order to get the time off, though.

I had it and was DOG sick for a week. I literally couldn't get off the couch. My manager was very understanding and just wanted me to do what I could to take care of myself.

I hope this is what my manager does!

Tell them you got it, that you're well at the moment but that also you're observing developments and may need to take time off. I'm sure they'll let you, (well, they should) since the sooner you get better, the sooner you'll be able to come back to work. You can't be productive when you're unwell.

The time I had it, it took me a week to recover. I lost my sense of taste on the third day so that made me feel awful and worried. That was when I asked to take time off of work. There's still a lot of backlogs but I can't do anything about it. I hope you get well soon!

2. Some tips for salary negotiations please?
