I went to work today hoping I'd be okay enough to work but I work at Starbucks in a hospital meaning we serve patients and hospital staff coffee. I'd been coughing all weekend and didn't want to call out because last time I tried calling out for being sick my manager grilled me and told me I got sick more than most people (I had been throwing up all night). So I tried coming in today and when I got to work I was overheating and coughing which are both symptoms of covid so I texted my manager because she wasn't in yet “Hey I should probably go get tested if I have covid symptoms” to which she made me stay until my other coworkers lunch despite having enough people to cover her lunch. When my manager came in like 2 hours after I expressed I felt sick she got mad at me for not leaving to go get tested (she literally told me to stay) and then told me that I had a pattern behavior of getting sick…. which like, wtf does that even mean? How am supposed to not get sick? I was concerned that I had fucking covid and that's a behavioral problem?? I was just shocked that she'd say that to me but honestly I'm not surprised. She also told me that starbucks doesn't care why you called out just that you did, which is fucked up right? Like I'm not crazy for thinking that sickness should be relatively excusable considering that people can't help getting sick. She always gaslights the fuck out of me too saying that she always comes in when she feels sick. Despite the fact that we work in a hospital with possible immunecompromised patients family members getting coffee for them. I had to check out a man who told me his wife just had a baby hours before he came to get some coffee meaning I was spreading my germs to that man and then potentially his newborn child. I'm not in the wrong for wanting to go home right?
