I am at a new job. Im out today. Also I was out at a dr appt. On Tuesday that was approved. Yesterday, I was honest with my supervisor that I’m not comfortable being off training, and that I’d be “alone” for have the day today.
Also that my desk was a terrible width, and the monitors that close to my face would not work for me. Just trust me.
Please note this is condensed, and we had polite (but honest from me) conversations. I’m frequently pushed off training early at most jobs bc I’m “so good,” but it ends up being chaotic and hurting me mentally and makes me bitter about the job and feel I deserve the same length as everyone else that is new. I know they’re short-staffed (I’m an RN), but it doesn’t make it right.
Last night I slept one hour (unrelated to work) but was racing about work and how I need to call in and how it’ll look bad, like a behavior response to the training issue and desk ergonomics (it is outpatient, every RN has an office and a desk).
Anyway, I texted the boss at 6:30am, as was told if I’m sick in the middle of the night, to not follow the 4 hour rule and wake her up. It is now 10:30, and she has not responded. Of note, her last day is next Wednesday, and she might be working what she was having me test independently half of today (which I agreed to-I just want to train next week at least part of the week).
So, please help me not feel guilty for being sick and calling in.
