Should I call in sick? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Askandanswerquestion
Hello!
I have a shift tomorrow morning, and I'm considering calling in sick. I'm feeling nauseous and have a massive headache, but I'm fairly sure they are due to stress (I've been making huge life decisions, battling a depressive episode, and got called out at my second job for taking to long ro answer emails). I know I'm not actually sick, but I feel awful. So would it be okay?

You can call out sick, just say the nausea and headaches. Don’t over share, less is more. If you feel like you can’t go in then you can’t go in.

Thank you. I am at home with a cup of tea after having slept in this morning, feeling much better. I just needed a push to take care of myself. 😊

You don't ever have to give any reason for calling in sick. If asked why you're calling out you can say that you're not comfortable answering. You're entitled to full privacy regarding callouts in company policy. It's always okay to take a day off when you really need it, just go for it.
