I have a really, really bad back (like 6 stress fractures in one spot in less than a year bad) and I missed 4 shifts because of it; today would have been a fifth tho I wasn’t scheduled for v many hours so I thought I could do it. I can’t afford a doctor, and I’m terrified they’ll say I need surgery which I really can’t afford, but I asked if I got a note in the next few days if that would make a difference and they said no. They said if I couldn’t stand through my shift today they would have to take it as my resignation.
