so i’ve only been at starbucks for a little less than a month and i feel very nervous about how i’m doing so far. i’ve had to stay out of work for an entire week and a half because i had covid, and although i’ve been through the recovery stages, i worked yesterday but had to call off for my shift today because i was feeling nauseous on the clock yesterday. although i do feel a bit better now, i have to go to the hospital and i’m scared as hell that i won’t be able to make this upcoming shift 8 hour shift, which would make this my second/third-ish call off.

i’m fortunate that my coworkers are super understanding, as is my general manager! but i’ve had issues in the past involved with various call-offs at old jobs and i don’t want to be fired over my reasonable absences. i just don’t know what to do and i don’t want anybody to feel like i’m screwing them over. i really don’t! :(
