So I called out of work today. I've been at this job 6 months and this is the second call out I've ever done. I'm not counting the two weeks I was out with Covid but they probably are.
I called out today because I'm out of town for an emergency. The first thing my boss tries to tell me is my attendance is becoming an issue.
“How so? I've been consistently early to my shift by no less than 10 minutes every day and only been late twice. This is my second call out.”
It almost felt like he buckled to that but I know more would come down on my head if I pressed it.
