I work part-time in a call centre. I have called in sick yesterday and today as I have flu like symptoms. Sore throat, temperature, achy etc. I do not want to sit on the phone for three hours taking abuse off people.
I have also had quite a large amount of time off due to an ongoing medical problem. I have been admitted into hospital and had an operation over this.
That aside I've maybe taken two or three days off due to migraines that I suffer from.
I'm generally a very reliable employee, always on time, never late etc. etc. but have phoned in today and there was lots of tutting about it and was asked 'whether I For starters how am I supposed to know and secondly, I do genuinely feel ill I'm not faking but I almost feel like I'm being made to go into work.will feel up to coming in next week'.
