I’m a new employee at a company I’ve been wanting to working at for a while. To clarify, I’ve been working here for about over a month. On a Saturday, I get hit with a sickness, I feel like complete shit, sore throat, fever, headache—I feel light headed as hell. So I asked my supervisor on text, if I should come in still, but I let him know I was sick. He replies back and texts, yes I should come in to work, and asks why (motherfucker, I’m sick, and hello? COVID-19??). He then proceeds to send another text asking about my symptoms. So I list the symptoms (sore throat, headache, and a bit of a fever), and he texts me that it’s okay, to just stay home. So obviously I stay home, why the fuck would I want to spread my sickness in the middle of an ongoing pandemic?
About an hour later I wake up from my sleep, and discover I have a missed call from my supervisor. So I call him back, and he tells me that our manager is pissed because I called off, and that now the manager wants to write me up a notice. I let know I’m not trying to spread my sickness, he says just stay home. I hang up and proceed to rest. Come next morning, I show up, and he serves me a paper to sign; my write up warning. One detail I should mention, is that my supervisor is definitely not American based, he has a heavy Filipino accent, and not the best English—but still coherent enough to comprehend. I read on the report of my write up, and I can just tell the report was typed out in not-so fluent English. It’s got run on sentences and the grammar is obviously broken. My manager is obviously a born and raised American, he knows English. I clearly remember hearing my supervisor saying that it was my manager that would write me up, so how come the report has broken ass English? It’s likely my supervisor typed out the write up, but why would he say that it would be my manager that would write me up? I’m just trying to figure out why my supervisor fucked me over, he literally fucking said it was okay to stay home, but I’m getting written up?? I’m just trying figure out what I can do to cover my ass and fuck his ass over instead.
