For context, I work in retail in Australia and am rather autistic. Because I have to keep up my mask whenever I’m at work I get extremely exhausted extremely quickly. As soon as I’m home I basically collapse into bed and sleep because I’m so tired. Even after a three hour shift.
I also hate my routine being disrupted. So, unless I have nothing planned or feel particularly awake and alert I don’t tend to take extra shifts when asked. I mentioned this to a family member and was told that I should expect to be fired for that kind of behaviour.
But, I do the work I’m assigned. I go to every shift and work to the best of my ability, I am doing what I am paid to do. I only call in if I’m sick but. Yeah.
Can I get fired for that?
