to preface, i've been in seizure recovery (i had a seizure during a shift) and have already missed shifts and left early, and now i just feel sick in general. this wouldnt be as bothersome if i wasnt new to this store. for some reason, sickness only feels valid and excusable in the workplace if it's covid. i just started at this store and although i know im good at my job, it feels like i have nothing to show for it. i have a week off after my next two shifts (because my manager knows how much i've been struggling with seizure recovery) but i feel riddled with guilt if i call off. i know if i answered the covid survey before my shift honestly i'd be sent home anyways, but i still feel so conflicted and like i have no choice. i dont wanna put fellow partners or customers at risk, even if its just a cold, but i already feel so flaky and like a bad employee.
