One day I had a blistering migraine and had to call in to work. It was so bad, I probably would have crashed my car if i had attempted to drive to work.
Anyhow, where I work has a VERY strict attendance policy, which I can see as necessary considering the company and that we are the retail end of things. So, you call in, you get a point. 12 points before the year is up and you get fired.
Sooooo. I have 3 points (one of them the sick day, one because my bus broke down and one because I was late and it was my own fault)
So today I wake up at 5am, horrible migraine. I take meds, go back to bed. Get up at 7:45, take more meds, get ready for work. Get to work @10, and tell my boss I am not feeling well but will try to work the whole day. Around 1:20 I am walking crooked, the pain is worse and I am getting ill. So I ask to be let off.
Then I ask if it will be a point and get told YES!
WTF?? So, I could have STAYED HOME in bed in pain and gotten a point, but instead, came to work under the impression I WOULDN'T get docked if I came in and did what I could... AND I STILL GET A POINT.
So far that averages out to 1 point a month but God Dammit, I do not plan on getting anymore and I DO plan on contesting this one. I don't think I'm wrong to say it's unfair to punish a sick employee when they NEED to go home.
Ugh. I am off to bed in my nice, dark, cool room.
