Got cut down by 3 bosses because I had to leave because I was feeling very sick.

Ended up starting a new job. Was really excited because there was a lot of good benefits. I have a 500 dollar sign on bonus if i stay for 90 days and no call offs. Was told during the interview that if I was not feeling good to at least show up to work and I will be sent home in like two hours and it would look good and show that I actually made a attempt. Should have taken that as a red flag immediately. Started the job. Mind you I was working around food and where i work most of our customers were elderly. I have observed for my first few days a couple of people working while being really sick. One of them threw up all over the bathroom and still continued to work.

Should have taken that as a red flag immediately. Started the job. Mind you I was working around food and where i work most of our customers were elderly. I have observed for my first few days a couple of people working while being really sick. One of them threw up all over the bathroom and still continued to work. I woke up the one morning not feeling the best. I went in and tried my best to stick it out through the workday. Well things were getting really bad. I started running a fever and getting really dizzy and fell forward and caught myself on a counter. I realized right then and there that I cannot work in this condition. I walked up to my boss and told her I am not feeling well and that I’m dizzy and not feeling good and I think it would be wise to go home. Another manager from the department right next to ours heard me and started walking over. They both sat there and told me that I basically can’t go home because “we tough it out here.” And about how the whole department manager is going to be pissed when she finds out. My manger goes over and calls the store manager and he comes over and I tell him what’s going on. And he sits there and tells me the same thing that I will not be permitted to leave because it’s my first 90 days and that it shows that I’m not reliable. All three of them basically sat there telling me how im weak because I have to leave because im not feeling good and that I just need to tough it out and work the whole day. I sat there and told them that I was feeling dizzy and that I felt like I was going to pass out. And then they all once again sat there and told me that I need to suck it up and that some of the workers have been throwing up and are still working. Mind you this is all being said in front of everyone. Workers, customers. I told them that no one should be handling food while being sick. And that I refuse to handle food while being sick. And finally I told them I was leaving and there’s nothing they can do about it. I left grabbed my stuff and as I was walking out I can hear all three of them talking about me about how I was a baby and about how I wasn’t reliable. When I got outside I started ugly crying. I have never felt so cut down in my life. Fast forward later that day went to the hospital got diagnosed with Covid. Called my boss and told her. She sounded like she felt stupid. She handed the phone to someone else because I guess I’m not good enough to talk to her. I think it’s time to find a new job.
