I had covid, some other health things, and VERY shitty life problems happen. (i.e. getting carjacked with a gun to my head) that have caused me (through literally no fault of my own) to either be late or absent from work a few times, nothing super consistent. I was off for a week with covid, though the company policy was very loosely defined in regards to that, so they very well could have fired me for covid, hell I expected them to. I got covid even worse because I was working for about 2 weeks while very sick, still on time and consistent. Got better then it came back so I finally took the time I needed to get better.
Fast forward to this week, almost 2 weeks after covid. I sleep through my alarm a few days ago, still made it on time. Yesterday, 2 lanes on claiborne ave in new orleans were blocked off (and i made sure to get up early and leave early so I didn't almost be late for work again) so I was stuck in traffic for literally 25 minutes at a standstill, not moving. I was only like 10 min late. I called from the road, and they appreciated it.
TODAY, I was SO exhausted from not sleeping well the last week. Averaging 4 hrs a night. I have had morning/late morning shifts everyday for 9hrs on my feet. 6 days a week. I was scheduled 7 days in a row once. I work at s*pho*a and it is a very very chaotic environment that takes a lot of energy. I have been sleep deprived all week. Guess it finally caught up with me because I slept through all 5 of my alarms. I have like 3 set on the amazon alexa, an 2 on my phone.
I wake up 3 hours late. Freak out, and apparently I can still come in. Currently getting ready. I still feel like absolute crap though. They will probably fire me. It will be a miracle if they don't.
I also have DSPD (diagnosed actually) and my circadian rhythm is chronically later. So even if I get 7hrs of sleep, I am still dead exhausted and burnt out if I have to be up in the morning.
Anyone else had this happen? How overworked am I that I sleep through 5 alarms from different sources?
I want to quit, but I will wait until they fire me. I wonder how long this will take?
