I think I\u2019m gonna head out early. Could you\u2026\u2026(ask something- keep me posted on the meeting, let me see your notes from the meeting, etc.)?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cUgh I\u2019m so frustrated with getting sick this season. I can feel my throat getting scratchy and I think I\u2019m getting a fever. Can you cover for me this afternoon?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI hate to do this, but I gotta leave now. I can\u2019t stop sneezing. Could you send me what you work on today and I\u2019ll finish the rest from home?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all great ways to talk to your coworker if you are getting sick, and it\u2019s a perfect casual approach. <\/p>\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Talking To Your Boss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are talking to your boss, this may be a very different approach.<\/p>\n<p>As with many professional issues, you want to use the right tone and the right approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-75-how-to-show-respect-while-you-argue-in-english\/\">show respect towards your boss.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a very different approach and conversation with your boss than it is with your coworker. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely to be a more formal conversation, though it depends on your relationship with your boss and the environment itself.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind though that you are asking for a favor in some capacity because you don\u2019t feel well and you want to go home.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things that you can say to a boss to get your point across and to ask for the favor of going home to feel better. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cHello X. I\u2019m so sorry to ask this but I think I have a fever and I feel pretty achy. I\u2019m worried I have the flu and want to go to the doctor\u2019s. Would you mind if I left early today? I\u2019m so sorry to do this.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cExcuse me X. I\u2019m almost done with the presentation draft and expect to finish tomorrow or the next day. However, I can tell that I am losing my voice and don\u2019t feel so well. I know it\u2019s hard on the team, but would it be too much trouble if I left early? I will get as much done as possible before the end of the day on Thursday.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWould it be possible to work from home or make up the time tomorrow? I feel horrible and need to go home and rest so I can get better. I don\u2019t want to get anyone else sick and I want to be able to give it my all after I feel better.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all more formal and ask for a favor in the appropriate way.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to keep in mind that you are asking for a favor, and that you must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-522-get-english-feedback-sandwich-build-real-relationships-business-world\/\">consider the relationship and the atmosphere as you talk to your boss. <\/a> <\/p>\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course these are LONG phrases, but go with the idea rather than memorizing the phrase. <\/p>\n<p>Consider which fits the person that you are talking to and what you are asking for.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s going to be an inconvenience then acknowledge that and use the proper formality for what you are trying to ask for.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a lot of work to do, figure out a way that you will get it done and speak to this.<\/p>\n<p>You want to use the right tone, right approach, and the right words to let your coworkers and boss know what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>You are asking for a favor, but nobody wants to get sick because of you either.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself in this situation, just use the right approach and it may very well help you to get what you want so you can work on getting better. <\/p>\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>If you have any questions, please leave them below in the comments section.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019ll get back to you as soon as we can. <\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard somebody say that they are \u201cfalling ill?\u201d Have you ever been in a work setting and felt yourself getting sick?
