I have mixed feelings on this. The last 3 months I’ve worked for spot have been filled with coworkers calling out constantly, which pisses me off because I have to work harder (and because those are hours I could’ve been scheduled for) and it’s always the same people.
Then I called out for my first time ever last week and it was awful. From the LOD questioning whether I was really sick and pressuring me to come in later “once I felt better”, to the 4 HR people who questioned me the next day (while pointing out that I looked fine), to the GSAs who made a point to complain about how awful the day before had been because we were so short-staffed.... ugh fuck you all.
I was legit throwing up and shitting all morning. Tried to sleep so I could come in later (as requested), but woke up and immediately puked again.
Not only was I not able to work, but do you really want me spreading that to our guests??
