I work in a hospital. I got a serious contagious viral infection for two weeks and had to call out. I also unfortunately had a sinus infection the week before, so my callouts added up quickly. When I get back, I find out that, since I’m still in a 90 day probationary period, that it’s being extended 30 days and I’ve failed due to my absences. They also said that if I call out again, I’m fired, which does not adhere to the hospital’s actual policy. Another call out would only mean a write up according to the policy.

Am I a modern day slave ?
I’m a 19 year old apprenticeship . I earn below min wage (£4.81 an hour) I earn less than what people with the same or similar jobs do To make matters worse , my supervisor doesn’t seem to want to teach me the complex skills that’s part of my course . so far all I’ve been doing is very basic stuff such as giving medication out . Kind of similar to someone at McDonalds who gives out food .. except it’s food and not meds . I don’t think even think I have a supervisor I get spoken to like shit when I ask how to do something .
