For context, I have some chronic conditions. I work part-time. I work at a taco place about once a week.
As one would expect, in fast food some of my managers are terrible. M is just a judgmental bitch. I called and said “I cannot come to work today, I am sick.” And her (predicted) response was to a)ask what’s wrong and b)tell me to find cover.
In the past I might have a)explained and b) tried to find someone. But dammit, I do them a favor by being 43 and really competent at my job. I don’t call in for fun. And I just said, “I’m sorry, I can’t do that,” and hung up.
I truly like my coworkers. But M can call around herself. I don’t know anyone’s numbers, schedule or availability and I’m really ill. So fuck that.
