So I never post on this sub but I thought I’d share my experience today:
Some backstory though, two things were happening simultaneously; a point system in my work place was being implemented on July 1st, and I was out of state for my college orientation/ visiting nearby family and wouldn’t be back July 2nd.
So when I was coming home from my vacation I suddenly got hit in the head with illness (sore throat, stuffed nose, dry cough) I didn’t have access to a thermometer on the trip home but I knew I was feeling feverish, and I knew work had scheduled me for today, so I was dreading something happening.
Something happened: when I got home my temperature was at 101. Of course I didn’t want to go to work because of this, but with the new point system in place I would be striked simply because I got home too late to schedule a doctors appointment for the day (I would be given 3 points out of 6 that would fire me)
Despite this, I told my situation to my boss in hopes she would understand what was happening. She did not. So I told her I quit and proceeded to leave the work’s group chat. Honestly it felt so freeing because I knew no matter how much I fought it I would still be marked.
TL;DR: I quit because work wanted to give me points for being sick and unable to produce a doctors note in one day’s time.
