Hello everyone, I have been lurking on this subreddit for a while now & I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for me to put this. But, I'm an assistant teacher at a daycare, I've been here for about 5 years now.
Last week, I had covid and so I wasn't able to come into work. My boss seemed a little annoyed but I didn't think to much about it since I was trying to get myself better & rested. Come this morning my dad calls me & told me someone in our family has passed away. Now, I was supposed to be in at 6:30, I texted my boss at 5 am letting her know that I just needed one day to be with my family & that I would be back tomorrow. Well, I got no answer at all & usually I would've, so I got nervous as I didn't hear from her so I had to call into work at 5:45 to let my coworkers know I won't be in and that I had already told our boss but haven't heard from her, hence why I was calling.
Now, ever since this mornkng I've been stressing that my boss is super upset. I missed all last week and now today. I mean, last week I had covid & today I found out one of my family members have passed. All I asked was for one day. I know it's an inconvenience for her but I'm not going into work, I'm going to spend time with my family. I am just stressing now about it, especially since I haven't even gotten a message from her all day.
Now I'm wondering, should I be worried? I mean, the reasons why I was out are out of my control & I feel like she is going to be angry with me tomorrow when I go into work. I haven't done anything wrong, I sent her proof that I had covid last week but I'm not going to show proof of a family member passing away, that's just absurd.
Anyways, sorry that this is mostly just a vent. I just wanted to put this out there to hear your opinion on the situation.
