I feel guilty for being sick

I’ve worked at my job for four months. I have been sick twice. The first time I came in, did my job feeling like crap, threw up, and they got my shift covered. Today I just felt horrible. Stomach pains, bathroom issues and I am feeling lethargic and have a head ache. I let my owners know, and one of them came to cover the rest of my shift. As I was leaving, he said “you seems to have been sick a lot since starting here. Do you think you can work here?” Like, have I really been sick that much? I haven’t called out, just went home early TWO TIMES when I felt like I hit my physical limit. Am I an asshole? Is it too often?

The first time I came in, did my job feeling like crap, threw up, and they got my shift covered.

Today I just felt horrible. Stomach pains, bathroom issues and I am feeling lethargic and have a head ache.

I let my owners know, and one of them came to cover the rest of my shift.

As I was leaving, he said “you seems to have been sick a lot since starting here. Do you think you can work here?”

Like, have I really been sick that much? I haven’t called out, just went home early TWO TIMES when I felt like I hit my physical limit.

Am I an asshole? Is it too often?
