    I love my job and my employers are great, brilliant in fact which is why I feel bad that I am ill. I have the most dreadful cold which had gone to my chest and I am finding it difficult to breath and supress my cough. The only problem is that I have come in to work because I know they are really busy and I can't let them down. I also know that this is going to get worse before it gets better. I just want to go home and don't feel that I can. What should I do?

    Go home.

    It's not your fault if your manager does not have contingency plans to cover for staff illness.

    One of the risks of going to work with a heavy cold is that you give it to co-workers, making it even worse for an employer.
    You need to go home and get better.

    Just to ad to mrs obumble any half decent manager will know that there is little point in you being in work when sick, as you won't be productive.
