It is still crazy to me that people like this truly exist like my god it just amazes me that people actually think like this and have no empathy.

I thought it was just my SM… i got written up and coached about calling off when I had the flu. I came to work with a fever and they still told me to work and I ended up passing out and when I came to my SM was like if you’re sick you need to make sure you find coverage because we’re losing a partner on the floor if you have to stay home or if we have to send you home. And what killed me was they never mentioned not working sick bc I won’t get better, I might get my partners sick, it’s a food safety violation, just ‘we’re losing a partner’ Like I just hit my head on the DT counter mamas, the room is still spinning idek what you’re saying rn.

Its insane that there are a ton of managers out there that cause their employees to be scared to call out when they are SICK and CONTAGIOUS.

I rarely call out but i did recently and I think I had a shift for 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 a.m. but I ended up telling my manager around 4:30 in the morning that I was in the bathroom with diarrhea. She showed empathy and she showed care and told me that she hopes I feel better soon and the only thing that she did was ask if I was feeling up to coming in and working like 2 to 3 hours and I told her I couldn't and she was completely understandable and told me that she hopes that I feel better and that was it. No hounding me or making me feel bad about finding coverage. She takes care of that because that's what managers should do instead of making the employees that they are in charge of scared to call out and forcing them to pretty much come in and contaminate everything and everybody

Don’t worry about it. He sounds like a clown.

I hate when when managers try to compare peoples situations to others. When I got my first does of the covid vaccine it put me out for a week. I’m immunocompromised in addition to other health issues and it affected me a lot harder than anyone else in the store. My SM looked in the face watching me struggle to catch my breath and went “I don’t understand what your problem is. I got the vaccine and was just fine. Everyone else was fine.”

When I was at tarbucks we had to close early due to multiple call outs and me being injured. Like people who handle food being sick got the HR rep so mad she was ranting about “call out season”… girl read the room

Some SM’s have little to no compassion. It’s like they forgot what it’s like to work hourly instead of salary. It must be convenient for him to not need to find coverage if he’s sick… I was sick with pneumonia and tried to contact our interim SM and all she said was “is this going to take all day?” Like girl, they aren’t clearing me to come back to work. So yes.”
