I usually don’t do this, I’m not the type to call out 14 times a month. It’s only ever about once time a month IF THAT, but most of the time it’s been unplanned decisions that I would’ve asked for time before if I knew I was gonna take. For example I called out today because I’m out of town and my friends asked me to stay another night and I wanted to so I had to call out. Is that wrong? Why do I feel guilty about it even though I know my job will function without me? Maybe it’s the anxiety that I get that I’ll get in trouble about it because it’s almost always pretty last minute (it’s never been like 10 minutes before tho lol always at least 1-2 hours) but at the very least it’s not a no call no show. Or maybe it’s the fact that I called out short notice last month because I simply didn’t want to go in, but again, todays wasn’t planned as I didn’t even know I’d be here right now on the day I did that one. I’m respectful about it, I try to include details and apologize and tell them as soon as I can. I don’t believe my life should cater to my work first or revolve around work so why do I still feel like this?
