Input: I am 27 years old, and am one of the owners of a small startup that employs 25+ people. I am also acting manager and have developed a reputation as the "disciplinarian" of the three owners.

I dont gain any pleasure out of being a dick to people, but I do require that everyone is held to certain standards and tries their best in all things and I will enforce those standards.

If someone shows up late, I will grill you on it. If you dont meet your deadlines, we're gonna have a discussion about why that didnt happen. If I see you bullying a coworker, I will shut it down publicly. If I see you putting your work onto others, I will directly ask you why you deserve to be paid. I wont ask anybody to do something i wouldnt do.

I have fired three people in the three years our business has been running, and im not afraid to fire more if needed. I care very much about my company and I dont let anything slide.

So, now that that has been established. Last week I was involved in a car wreck on my way to work. BMW ran a red and T-boned my sedan on the passenger side. I spun out, bashed into an electric pole. I was lucky I wasnt hit on my drivers side as this car was going fast.

Smashed my face on my steering wheel and door. Busted my nose pretty good. Two black eyes now. Pieces of glass cut up my face and my leg, and my lip got busted. Also, the worst injury, I broke my wrist and hand which is currently in a cast.

BMW driver was fine. Car ended up getting towed and the EMTs bandaged my nose and plugged my nostrils to stop the bleeding. At the time I told them my wrist was fine, just sprained. Took it to a doctor over the weekend and yep, its broke.

Sedan was totalled and had to be towed.

At this point I had two options. I could either go home and rest, take a day off, or go into work.

In the past ive given many pep talks about being committed to your job, to overcoming obstacles, to making sacrifices and taking risks. I have denied sick days in the past for various reasons that werent satisfactory. 

So, I decided to use this as a teaching moment and prove that im not all talk. I call a lyft, and show up to work. I looked like I was just mugged, but i showed. People bombarded me with questions and asked if i needed an ambulance but i just explained what happened and that everything is fine.

I went to my office and got to work. One of the other owners came into my office and asked if I was alright. I said I was but he said I should go home or to the hospital. I had already paid to be brought here so I refused. He tried to insist but I wouldn't back down. I worked the rest of the week.

This week me and the other owners had a lengthy discussion about it and while they understand my reasoning they dont like that i came in and that i refused to leave. Its not a huge deal but what do you guys think?
