Today, despite having a stomach bug, I went into work, as my boss is overseas and had warned me not to take any sick leave until she returned. After 4 hours and vomiting twice, I left. She found out and sent me an email bitching me out for coming in sick. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to work despite having a nasty cold. I didn't call up sick because last week when I called in, my boss said I was being "unprofessional and unacceptable." My boss sent me home with a written warning today, claiming that coming to work sick was "unprofessional and unacceptable." FML
Today, I have food poisoning. My boss told me that if I didn't come into work, I'd be fired. Not 30 minutes after sitting down, I sneezed and shat my pants. My boss still won't let me leave. FML
Today, my boss was skeptical when I told her I had a terrible migraine and needed to go home for the day early. I removed all her doubts by puking over her. FML
Today, after I've been sick all week, but still coming in to work (I'm not contagious) because I know that we're short staffed, I sucked it up and came in again, only to find out 3 other employees called in because they're hungover. Now I have to do my job and theirs. FML
Today, I dragged myself to work, suffering from a bad cold. My boss quietly told me to go home and rest, to avoid spreading it around the office. I thought it odd since he dislikes me so much, but I did as he said. He called later in the day to suspend me for leaving work early. FML
Today, I called in sick for the first time. My boss said that if I didn’t show up, not only would he fire me, but he’d make sure I never find another job for the rest of my life. So I showed up to work with a bucket, puking every five minutes. My boss still made me stay the full nine hours. FML
Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML
Today I was home sick from work because my doctor gave me a new pill that made me throw up violently. My boss called. I thought she was checking on me. She fired me instead. FML
Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. FML
Today, I got up and left for work despite being really sick, because I had a big meeting. Halfway to work, in deadlocked traffic, my boss texts me to let me know he's rescheduling the meeting to tomorrow because of personal conflicts. FML

kindly remind her of what she told you before she left, and then finish the sentence by mumbling "bitch" under your breath. that'll teach her!

Well, I'm sure if SHE had a stomach bug, she'd call in sick! What a jerk. Feel better soon, OP!

Sorry about that OP. Tell her that you came in despite being sick since she told you to come. Not only will you prove her contradiction, but you'll be seen as an especially loyal employee!

Well, if you had stayed longer, you would've exposed even more people to your sickness, which would've meant more sick days from everyone. So, really, you were doing your boss a favor!

Your boss has got issues. You sort your health out, get better then sort her out afterwards

Agreed. Any boss that tells you before they leave not to take any sick days is a jerk and will probably get sued at some point in their lives. When people are sick, they are allowed to not come into work, it's their right, and it's actually better for the company because then the sickness isn't spread. Whenever you are seriously sick op, you should call in sick (especially for a stomach bug where you're throwing up!). If your boss tries to yell at you later for it (which I don't think she will after this incident) then just tell her you were really sick and thought 1 or 2 sick days was better than spreading it and causing about 10 other people to take 1 or 2 sick days as well.

Next time you have to vomit, just make sure you leave a gift in her office

Where is the sympathy in her? She should be grateful that you came in at all
