Serious question: What the hell do you do when you get sick? Do you just go in anyways? I feel like that's so irresponsible and just leads to other team members catching whatever you have. Wouldn't it make the store look bad too? "Geez, they wouldn't even let their sick as hell employee stay home, this store is run by dicks" etc?Been at spot 2 1/2 years .. no call outs from me! It's a little discouraging though that I got the same raise last year as the girl who called off 2-4 times a month and I have never called off. It really doesn't matter at my store if you show up or not I guess.
Part of it is good habits to keep from getting sick, part is luck, part is taking medication when you do get sick, and part is going to work sick. Some people seem to get sick every 2 or 3 months; others can go years without even getting a cold. The latter group has the people who are saying they haven't called off in years.Serious question: What the hell do you do when you get sick? Do you just go in anyways?

Also, it's worth noting that my store might be more lenient on call-offs. During training it was stressed a LOT that if you're sick, they absolutely don't want you in the store. I previously assumed that was every store, but judging from all the people saying they've never called off, maybe that was just my store.
Why isn't there a 'Never' option to this poll?
Surely I'm not the only one here who has never called out... right?
We're in the same boat.

If you work in a food area, you have no business coming into work sick. You have a responsibility not to pass germs to the guests via food.

I average calling out about twice per year.
Ask your hr, that question. Every store is different.Is the ETL allowed to ask why we're calling out? I thought I heard they aren't supposed to...yet I've heard most of the ETLs at my store asking TMs why they're going to be late/calling out. Not making a big fuss over it, just curiosity.
Next time, gimme a call. I'll snap it back in place!Once, I worked with my neck snapped like a twig.
