This is kind of just me venting, but also curious of other people's experiences… Everytime I'm sick (which is rare) It seems like my work always gives me a hard time, or guilts me and makes me feel even shittier when I already don't feel well.
I work in parks and rec. aquatics for my city, I've been sick for about 8 days now with the flu and missed 3 shifts as a result (about to be 4). At my employer's request I have seen a doctor and got a sick note. I work under 2 different supervisors at different locations and both have seemed very annoyed to have to deal with me not being able to come in, in one instance the facility/programs had to be closed because no one would cover (we are very understaffed in my role) I gave her(supervisor) a few days heads up and she chastised me for calling in sick 2 days ahead of time while I was bedridden, (which I was trying to do as a courtesy) I assisted in emailing people while off to try and find coverage.
Now today my other supervisor hasn't responded to either of my emails I sent this morning about not being able to attend my evening shift tonight, which tells me he probably hasn't read them, and the other staff won't be able to get in/open for tonight due to me being the only one with access codes and authority to open/close the facility. I'm actually considering just turning my phone off because I don't want to deal with the call in a few hours…
