Archived First time calling out

[Senly]

I came down with the flu yesterday and I went home early because of it. I really didn't want to call out (I feel like it's really bad to do it, like I'll get fired for it) so I waited to see if I'd be even just a little better so I could actually function while at work. But there was no change so I called in, I explained the situation and all I got in response was "okay, bye..*click*"... now I'm guilty for getting sick and feel like I'm gonna lose my job. Can I be fired for this?

No.

Nope your fine if you call out three days they will ask for a docs note probably as proof or whatever. I had the flu a couple years back I dont envy you get aell keep up with fluids!

It's a weekend so naturally lods are a little salty when someone calls out. Don't take it personally. Assuming you aren't seasonal or still in your 90 you'll be okay.

Over half of the people in my house are sick. If I was LOD, I’d rather you get better and not get worse or spread it.
As @HRZone said, out of your 90 there’s nothing to fret about.

I know ASANTS, but we have people (past their 60 days) that call in 2-3 times a month...and they still get scheduled near 40 hours. LOL. At my store, you are odd if you don't call in periodically.
