Emails, texts and voice-mail don’t count, MUST be a phone call…

What do yall think of this? This is my company policy for calling out sick/unable to work.

I like to text or email because 1. I can ensure that I was sent to them directly and 2. I have some sort of paper trail to show for if need be. If it wasn't an issue a year ago and I only report to 1 person, why is it such a big deal!

PS: I didn't sign that I've acknowledged these rules…. I actually didn't even get our company policy handbook til like 2 months after I started LOL.. so should I see how long I can go without calling lmao

Anyways, just needed to do a mini rant. I know this isn't as bad as some places. First world problems amirite lmao
