Started a new job recently. It’s the most whatever job I’ve ever worked. The job is okay for the most part, but I honestly just don’t really like it. It’s draining, and my coworkers don’t like me and it’s obvious. It’s not a hard job, but it just really isn’t for me.
I applied for a full time position, was given a seasonal position and told that I would be able to stay on full time, then they reversed that and said it was seasonal only after I got finished with training. I was really upset over this, because I really needed a job, but luckily I’ve managed to find a job that I can go to once the season is over.
My last two shifts, though, I had to call out of and then show up very late to the next shift due to car problems and not having another way to get there, and they were (mostly) understanding of it all. They definitely tried guilting me into coming “We really need you! Can’t you just Uber?!?” when I haven’t even gotten a paycheck from them yet and an Uber is $23.
The issue is that now I feel really sick. I don’t have a fever- but I am coughing a little bit, I have a headache and aches all over, and my throat hurts a little bit. I’m vaccinated and still wear a mask so I don’t think it’s COVID or anything, but still- I feel like shit and don’t know how or if I should call out. That would be three shifts in a row that I call out to some extent, and I’m already on the way out. I don’t want to be fired, but I also don’t want to work there, so it’s a difficult position and I’m not sure what to do lol.
