As someone in management I wanted to give everyone some advice on calling out. When calling out simply state: I am not feeling well I apologize for any inconvenience I won’t be in.
If you tell me your at the doctors I’m going to ask for a note since you’re there. If you’re providing me with details I’m going to ask detailed questions. You can decide if that’s because I care or because I’m a dick but I don’t need an explanation so don’t give me one unless you can back it up. This is also a good test for how the company runs. If one employee not being there, is going to bring everything to a screeching halt start looking for a new job. Managements job is to manage the schedule and account for minor inconveniences. I’m just seeing to many younger less experienced employees not knowing how to call out. So I hope this helps.
