I've been out sick since Wednesday. Each morning, I call my supervisor to let them know I still have a fever and don't feel well enough to come into the office. He gives me such a hard time. The problem is, his guilt trips are starting to work. I almost just went into the office today. Should I have just went in? This is my first real job and I want to be seen as a valuable member of the team.

If you're sick, you're sick. And you should stay home. There's no point in going to work if you've got a fever, especially as you might just spread whatever you've got. Recover, go in next week, and show you're a valuable worker then.

Don't go in if there is a chance you will get everyone else sick. It is so selfish to go in and risk everyone else's health, but it is more selfish that our jobs make us feel bad about being sick and needing time off. I would probably go get a doctor's note so that he can't keep harassing you.

Ask your manager for their guidance. That might give you some insights.
