Started a new job a month ago, going well, getting compliments, etc.
Yesterday morning I was nauseous, then I started throwing up, tried to make it in but end up calling out. Boss said it was fine, said he just had the flu, and to take today if I needed it too. Called today cause I’m still sick as a dog and boss seemed pretty annoyed and kinda passive aggressive.
I offered to go in on Saturday to catch up on the work.
My new job I go in and out of other peoples homes so it’s pretty impossible to work while sick. But boss seems annoyed and I’ve never really had him seem like this before.
What you guys think, did I screw up? Start looking for something else? Start groveling? Or am I just being anxious and it’ll probably be fine?
Yea you did mess up. You offered to come in on Saturday when you shouldn't have and now he got you labeled as a sucka.
You have to stand up for yourself @op
If you keep working while sick, youre only going to be sick for a longer time. I’m sure you’re more useful to your boss fully recovered
Could of been annoyed for a number of reasons, some people find it difficult to put aside the emotions they're currently feeling if that makes sense.
If you're fully sick, theres not a lot you can do.
nah he doing his job right as a boss. he making sure you know he wants you there. pretty sure its okay you call off but dont make it happen often is the message he’s sending
shoulda just said u had covid
never understood bosses who get mad about calling in sick for more than one day (i understand why that was rhetorical please don’t answer for me).. like who the f*** only gets the flu/sick for one day + do you really wanna risk infecting the rest of your staff and potentially having even more employees call in sick the week after because of it?
doesnt help that youve been there a couple weeks max. but health comes first so it really should not matter.
Man f*** all that bootlicking s***, you're sick and you need to stay home until you can recover and feel functional enough to perform your work
F*** all these companies that treat their employees like s***
The day he feels like he doesn't need you he'll fire you so f*** him and his feelings. Do you OP
Yea you did mess up. You offered to come in on Saturday when you shouldn't have and now he got you labeled as a sucka.
