My boss give us shit if we call off for being sick. It's such a toxic environment and I hate it
I was the exact opposite kind of boss and got great results.
“I don’t care why I care how often”
At least I would get advanced notice when people weren’t afraid to call me.
Also when I called around to fill shifts I wouldn’t guilt trip people “can you cover for bill? No? Okay thanks for answering “
The other bosses would call me to call their employees because they would answer me. One of my favorites was calling another boss and saying “Claire’s going to come in”. “What? She told me she couldn’t make it!!!”
“If I were you I wouldn’t mention that when she comes in. Just be happy the shift is filled”
Respect goes both ways at work. I got more work out of my team than anybody because I had their back as much as they had mine.
Literally toxic if everyone has to show up sick
I am immunocompromised and started wfh full time because everyone was coming in sick. I sacrificed advancing my career here so I wouldn't get sick all the time. Full time wfh folks don't get to advance and get demoted to the lowest position in the company. I was already at the lowest position so I had nothing to lose.
Yes, I'm looking for a new job already. The market is abysmal right now, so I don't see me getting out of this job any time soon.
Good luck with the job hunt, and even more with staying healthy
Thank you!
When I worked in big box retail we were only allowed to call in sick 2 days in a row. Once I had food poisoning from bad oysters, so I tried to call in on the third day.
Of course, they told me I couldn't. So I dragged my ass out of bed, chugged a bottle of OTC antinausea syrup, drove to work, walked into my boss's office, grabbed her trashcan, and threw up in it.
Suddenly I was allowed to call in sick.
What a fuckin power move. Way to go, my guy!
I had a disciplinary for calling in sick, the most recent time I was "nearly dying" from the flu.
Ive got it in writing somewhere from the meeting report "I had the flu the other week and still made it in, just take 2 paracetamol and get on with it" and "the flu isnt contagious so you didnt have to worry about infecting other staff"
Next time that piece of paper surfaces im getting it framed.
Next time come into office and cough all over your boss and their desk.
I wfh full time so I don't get sick from my coworkers coming in ill. I'm immunocompromised, so if I get sick enough, I could just die. The whole company, except me, has been dealing with covid for the past two weeks. Last time I had covid, I was almost hospitalized, and that was before I was put on immunosuppressants. I could very well die from covid now
