Ok so I started my job about 5 weeks ago, I work in a call center. My work goes on this "FED" system, where you have to sign an "FED" everytime you are late or miss a day due to sickness/personal etc, and you apparently are allowed 10 "FED"s a year. Well last week I contracted the flu, and missed wed,thurs,fri, and I even got a doctors note to cover those 3 days, do you think my company will throw those 3 days on 1 "FED" or do you think that will count as 3?
Anyway, I started to feel better last weekend, and I went through mon,tues,wed ok but then yesterday I got really sick again and had to call in again, and unfortunately, I've been up all night sick again so I'm going to have to call in sick when we open in another hour...
I'm really nervous, because I know I've just started, and the timing of me getting the flu is probably looking really bad on me! But there's nothing I can do!! I've been given some antibiotics, but they obviously don't work over night, I just started taking them last night.. I don't want to get fired because I got sick and it was beyond my control... I would love to come into work, but whats the point when I'm going to be leaving my desk every 15-20 minutes to get sick in some way..
What do you guys think? Has anything like this ever happened to you? What happened?
