I work with food. At a hospital.
You have to sign waivers when you work with food regardless stating you will inform people if you have stomach bug symptoms and cannot work for 24 hours after the symptoms.
I had a stomach bug last month. Called out for 2 days because I was still vomiting.
Even got a doctors note.
Came back to work only to be told my doctors note didn’t matter and wasn’t needed. And that if I called out or missed work on any of the days I’m scheduled for, for the next 2 month after that incident that I would be terminated.
Well whatever I guess. There’s literally nothing I could have done to not get sick.
Well lucky me my mother is sick as hell and has missed the last week of her work because of it. She’s now given it to me.
I’m in the beginning stages of being sick so I still feel “fine” just a little crappy. But I can tell I’m going to feel like absolute garbage tomorrow.
Thing is I’m scheduled for work today, tomorrow, the next day and the next. 12 hrs each day.
I can’t call out or call sick because I’ll get fired for being sick (how dare I contract contagious diseases while working in a hospital).
I talked to supervisor and they said there’s nothing they can do. If I miss work when I’m scheduled, I’m going to get fired. Regardless of the reason, and regardless of if I have a doctors note.
so it’s either get my whole department sick as hell and then be in trouble
For getting them sick. Or lose my job.
Fuck my life.
