Right now I don’t feel good.
I’m having super bad anxiety. I have tinnitus. I’m dizzy. Doctors can’t figure out why I’m dizzy. I’m going in for a MRI.
On the same day as my MRI leadership at my work asked me and my boss to attend a training and possibly present. I initially said since my MRI was in the morning and the training in afternoon I could attend but i questioned the need. What was being asked to present was already trained on this last spring and stuff is changing so seems like a waste of time.
I was told I would just need to go to answer questions not to present so I agreed.
I asked if the presenters needed any info from me and I got invited to a preparation meeting, where I found out I WAS presenting.
My work has me down right now anyway because they said I was 100% remote and now being asked in to the office once a month. I know it’s not a huge deal, I keep being told that, but it feels like a slap in the face. I don’t think I’d feel this way if it felt legitimate but it’s for “collaboration” like that isn’t possible virtually?
Anyway I decided F this. I’ve an MRI. I don’t need this. The other presenter said she understood and would present my part too. I don’t think this “looks” good but I frankly don’t care.
I decided to take it a step further and ask my boss for the entire day off to take care of myself post a scary MRI. And this man tells me no.
Oh also – there are other people like who could go in my place. He hasn’t offered that option either.
Im not sure he can deny my sick leave per my union contract. I’ll have to find out.
But im upset. I need to vent. I hate working. Im not sure what to do.
Tl:dr boss denied me a whole day off for an MRI because he wanted me to present some bs.
