I literally got sick on my first day at work. What to expect and how do I make up for it?
Fortunately, I came in around 15mins early and then tried to work normally until around 12:00, but after going to the bathroom 3 times and spending over an hour in total in it, I decided to tell the guys that I needed to go home. The worst part is that besides this one particular, unexpected emergency, I have other health issues that may require more time off for treatment (they don't know about this because I don't know anything either, it's a guess), but thats like a month from now or more. Well what do I do? Because I want to work. For now I told them that I expect to be able to be back tomorrow but will call if it's not the case.
That's the worst... I ended up in the hospital a few days into my previous job a few years ago and it took me longer to recover because I was stressed out thinking I was going to get fired. I went back after a week and was well received. Too much time and money is invested in recruiting and hiring a new worker to turn around and fire them for a legit health concern. Focus on getting better and keep good communication with you're boss. Get Well Soon
You can't work when your sick. If it goes beyond 48 hours then get a doctors note to bring into work when you return.
