I’ve been at this job for 5 months and texted my boss around 5 times sick which I made sure to to text 4 hours prior so there could be a replacement. Weirdly enough, every time I called in sick, he removes me that day off the schedule for next weeks schedule.

Set boundaries: Don't be afraid to say no to work-related requests that are outside of your job description or work hours. Setting boundaries with your employer or coworkers can help you maintain a healthy work-life balance and prevent burnout. Unplug: Make it a habit to disconnect from work during your personal time.

I’ve been trying to get some coworkers to start petitioning for a union because we all hate our boss and the owner just backs him up regardless of what he does. But, everyone keeps telling me that as soon as the union comes in they’ll ( the union) fire everyone who currently works there and bring in their own employees. How true is this?
