I was sick beginning of December, mostly recovered after a week and I went back to work, but my throat still hurts when speaking - had 3 weeks off around Christmas, rested my voice, visited doctor for meds, but it’s still not gone. Doctors are still not sure what it is, but similar thing happens a lot with covid, so maybe it’s that.
Such a small thing, but lasts so long and doesn’t improve, I have zero control over it, and it makes me hopeless. I feel like it broke me, a successful manager, a married man in my 30s, I was crying yesterday when walking my dog.
Not sure how long can I go on working this way - I could of course go on sick leave, but doing that just after returning from a long holiday and kicking off a new project, will not make me too popular, and would guarantee that I miss the promotion I’m working for.

Most of those ppl are too smoothbrain to realise the difference between a symptom and a disease.
Also, most of those are also the ones coming to work with a cold and cough and spreading it to others by coughing on shared-use equipment like keyboards and sometimes even coughing right at other’s faces.
I really feel this comic.

While reading your comment I was wondering if you’re working for the company I’m working for. So many similarities.
But there are no promotions on our firm, so no.
Take a few days rest, mate. It’s not worth it.
Capitalism~^TM
Stuff like this is why everybody who says shit like “it’s just a cold, move on” is a cunt.
