Caffeine made me sick at work.

So this just happened to me and I still have another 5 hours to go. I just got this job at a hotel and I do night shifts twice a week. This is my third week. I got here and everything is fine. I got an energy drink and I drank only about half the can. I do have some trouble with caffeine but it’s never done this to me. Had to lie on the floor for some time just to calm my stomach down. Ended up emptying my stomach. Thank fuck I got it all into a bucket. Now I’m sitting here eating some cereal not knowing when my stomach will calm down fully. The clean up is easy and nights are always dead so thank fuck no one was here to witness. Now my boss has mentioned to me that they’ve had some issues with past employees with…


So this just happened to me and I still have another 5 hours to go. I just got this job at a hotel and I do night shifts twice a week. This is my third week. I got here and everything is fine. I got an energy drink and I drank only about half the can. I do have some trouble with caffeine but it’s never done this to me. Had to lie on the floor for some time just to calm my stomach down. Ended up emptying my stomach. Thank fuck I got it all into a bucket. Now I’m sitting here eating some cereal not knowing when my stomach will calm down fully. The clean up is easy and nights are always dead so thank fuck no one was here to witness. Now my boss has mentioned to me that they’ve had some issues with past employees with substance abuse issues and for me that’s not the case. I took a chance with caffeine and I ended up fully regretting it. I’m still able to preform the rest of my duties before my shift ends but I’m afraid if they have cameras and they review them they’ll see me as a drug addict. (I’ll admit it looked really bad without context). I can’t lose this job. Both me and my partner lost our jobs around the same time and I got this job thankfully. Now my partner will be out of work for a bit because he has a kidney problem and he has surgery in a few weeks for it. Hell be out of work for a bit because of it. Right now I’m the bread winner and rent is batshit right now. If they find out what happened I’m afraid they’ll terminate my employment even if I speak up. They probably won’t believe me. What should I expect?
