I’m 17f and I’m a dishwasher/closer making $10/hour, I don’t much care for the work but the people I work with are awesome. The other closers are super chill people and really kind and supportive and are my primary reason for staying. I have lung issues that make it near impossible to breathe at times and the doctors refuse to treat it. I’ve had to call off/leave early a few times recently due to this especially with the high AQI levels lately.
I’ve worked there over a year and when I asked for a raise yesterday I was denied due to me missing work even though it doesn’t happen too often. I was also told that they were going to let me go if it continues and idk what to do. I can’t help that I have to miss work occasionally since I cant get treatment and I don’t want to lose my job because I enjoy working with everyone in the deli and they all see see me as a valued member of the team.
Idk what to do
