If you’re infectious (meaning contagious) then you should not be working. As for the no call, if you did not call before or at your actual shift time then you may still get the no call no show. You were not immobilized or dealing with a *major* medical or other emergency so they may have the upper hand on that.

The “disappointed in you” bullshit I would just ignore. They’re guilt tripping you and none of this is your fault.

Fuck em, they set a stupid policy, you abided by that policy to the best of your ability after leaving the ER you went to because you’re sick.

They want to guilt trip you about that? Maybe they should scrap the “no texting” policy instead of treating you like you’re not a person who might sometimes have needs and a life outside of work.

I don’t think you deserve the “no-call no-show”, and I definitely don’t think you deserved being gaslighted by a minimum wage employer, particularly when it’s your first job. SMH, why can’t managers see people as humans anymore?

Hopefully they’re prepared for multiple call outs then, tryna get a sick partner to come in. Next time it’s best to call out the night before but it’s understandable if you wanted to see if it would improve overnight. You’re sick, you’re a human you can’t control that sometimes, them being “Disappointed “ is immature on their part.

For future reference give them as little info as possible. “Hey sorry I’m calling late, i had to go to the ER last night and they told me to rest up. I would’ve contacted and tried as soon as I could.”

It’s their job to find coverage and if they punish you for being in the er the night before, you should contact your local District Manager.

Edit: Whenever you’re at a doctor ask for a note for work as well.

It makes my blood boil hearing/seeing other starbucks managers & shifts be total dicks. im good friends and so friendly with all my shifts, even my boss (sometimes lol). the people i work with are incredible caring and sweet humans and idk how i would have made it as far as i did (9 months so far) if i didn’t feel comfortable with certain ppl or if certain ppl didn’t like me. it’s really disheartening hearing people have terrible experiences, while mine has been an amazing one. feel better OP. your health comes first. you probably overslept because you were tired. being sick is tiring. especially being in the ER in the middle of the night.

I worked for Starbucks for 5 years. I’ve had to come in with food poisoning, strep throat and tonsillitis. Yes, this is very very wrong and no, it is not acceptable. That being said, my experience with Starbucks is a very negative one where I would have been punished had i not come in. I was a supervisor so it did make calling out a lot more difficult, but these things do happen, and it’s absolutely terrible.

I'm sorry but what manager has a zero calling texting thing. Your manager sounds like an ass

ER for a sore throat. Our healthcare system is BOOTY. Hope you feel better!

Was there a reason you couldn't call your manager at 2:30? I understand that at the time you still had the intention of coming in, but if you can't text them you could have called out.

Did you call in after your shift would have started? Bc if so then I'd call that a no call no show.
