Had to take Tuesday off work as I had a streaming cold over the bank hol weekend.

Went back today and a colleague commented about how I had had a lovely extra long weekend in the sun.

I had been to a country park on the Sunday morning and had put a pic of my dog swimming in the lake.

However I spent the rest of that day, and Monday and Tuesday on the sofa and didn’t go out again .

I am rarely off sick unlike other people at work who seem to take weeks off at a time for ‘stress ‘.

I have plenty of things in my personal life going on to make me stressed but I just get on with it.

I take one day off and get comments.

Was I unreasonable to have reported this to my manager? My manager is not my colleagues manager.

Colleague and I don’t do the same job.
