Was working for a place back in the 90's, I worked my own shift and picked up plenty of others too, and whether people liked me or not, acknowledged I was a hard worker. Compared to many who called off all the time, I rarely did. But, I caught a bug and had horrible nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, and nothing was staying down. There was no way I could work like that.
Night Supervisor said you have to come in, no exceptions. Tried to tell him I'm losing it from both ends every 5 minutes, he didn't care. Fine.
Somehow didn't sh*t my pants driving in the 2 miles, but did vomit out the side door at least once. Walked through the building, looked ashen as hell, horrible stomach cramps, and went to his office. He made me sit there for 15 minutes till he was ready to address me. By then, stomach rumbling, sweat on the brow, I turned a vomited all over the place. Watery vomit with whatever color Gatorade and chunks of yogurt came up. And a little leakage on the back end too. It wasn't subtle. It was a lot.
He just looked at me, looking a little peaked then too, and said 'you made your point, you can go.' I stumbled home and pretty much spent the next day or so in the bathroom. I do remember my neighbor bringing me some baby wipes at some point which I greatly appreciated.
But no points, I came into work like I was told, and they sent me home. I was willing to stay. :>
