Got sick before work last night and went in because I can’t afford to miss work (both because I need the money and I’ve only been here a month and a half). Miscommunication happened and none of the supervisors heard I left but my coworker knew. In the morning my direct supervisor asked my coworker what happened then asked the other supervisors if they were told and they said no. The one supervisor (who also came and talked to me tonight) said if I was under him he’d see it as a voluntary quit and fire me. My coworker says he doesn’t think it’ll happen because it’s up to our supervisor but he also doesn’t know. I was told if I didn’t think I could handle walking back through the factory I could’ve gotten someone with a radio to call to one of the supervisors that I wasn’t feeling good and I was leaving. So now I’m waiting for the end of my shift to find out what’s going on…and it’s shitty because every company I’ve worked for doesn’t let you have days off or anything in the first 90 days (minus my court days for divorce and custody) and I think that’s complete bullshit. I worked half the night and I’ve seen less competent workers and people that don’t show up on time…like a guy on first shift who always gets to the machine late. Always before I have to leave but later than what is supposed to be happening for everyone. ALSO this company I work for own a handful of companies in the area so I wouldn’t be able to go work at theirs either if this ends on a bad note and the main jobs around here are factory or farming. We have the normal jobs too but these have always been the easiest for me to work at since I’m used to it.
I know I’m probably overthinking or whatever but I’ve been told my coworker had his pay cut before in a form of disciplinary action and I never signed anything for a starting pay. I was told at the end of my first day or on my 2nd day that I’d be making what I make now. I can’t afford a pay cut and I’m okay with being written up vs being fired for something so stupid. On top of that my step child wasn’t feeling good the same morning I came home and my baby has been a little rough around the edges so I don’t know if it’s a little bug going around or what because I feel fine today compared to last nights head splitting hell.
