Title says it all. Some background information:
I work for a large temp agency.
They moved my colleague to another department so I've been working by myself for the past few weeks. Taking days off now is apparently very difficult since there is no one to cover for me. They still haven't found any replacement for my colleague so I have to fend for myself atm.
A few weeks ago, I scheduled an appointment in the hospital for my nose – nothing life-threatening but the waiting lists are very long so I was lucky that I could squeeze in this easily.
I called in sick on the day of my appointment since they wouldn't allow me to take the day off. My manager keeps on calling and texting me begging if I'm still able to work today. Just a few hours pls because they don't have anyone who can cover and no one “has the knowledge/experience to run the deparment”. I said no and turned off my phone & now my manager has to run the department by themselves lmao. Probably will get a lot of shit tomorrow but totally worth it
