Hey. I'm in the process of being diagnosed with neoropathy while clawing my way out of homelessness in a world that is heavily stacked against me in a financial way. This isn't news to anyone. But I just want some advice.
I am putting my best effort at this new job and crushing it. I'm being told how much I'm crushing it and that I'm valued. I'm having all these last minute appointments come up because I'm getting tested and new pills and all types of stuff. I asked if I could be off the floor for an hour total on a Tuesday. My manager wouldnt approve it because she didn't want to step on the MODs toes for that day. Whatever, I know that requesting off last minute isn't ok but it's an hour. I feel like this appointment is an emergency because my mental and physical health are in a constant emergency these days.
I'm thinking about just leaving for the appointment and coming back and asking for forgiveness. I guess they can fire me. Service jobs are a dime a dozen with my skills. Any advice is welcome.
Side note; this place has plenty of red flags but at least tries to be good to there employees. More than most other spots I've worked so bashing them or dragging them through the mud or fucking them over isn't something I'm interested in.
