My birthday is this weekend and I don’t want to work that day. I have a part time job that’s only a few weekends a month and usually my boss asks me what weekends I want to work at the beginning of the month. I had been planning to ask for my birthday off so I could actually have it off for this year and do something fun. But she didn’t ask me this month and scheduled me on my birthday. I really want to call in that morning, but I’m feeling guilty now because several of the employees got Covid this week and we don’t have a ton of employees.
However this is a small place and typically only 1 or 2 people are scheduled a day. So my coworker would probably be fine?
I don’t know. Should I call in or suck it up and go into work?
Edit to add I do have 2 other jobs during the week. This isn’t the only job I have.
