I've been busy. Lisa & the kids were sick for a while (Lisa isn't 100% better yet). Lisa also started back to school, and that's consumed a lot of her time. Meanwhile, I've gotten their cold (blech). I've had to call off a few times, but today I went in.
Apparently, this was a mistake.
My voice is gone.
My throat feels swollen.
I cannot shake the feeling that I've progressed to strep throat.
At the very least, work is hazardous to my voice right now. I mean, this is bad. It hurts to swallow, hurts to talk (not that I really can). And the worst part? My voice was gone by 2:00 today. I went to a supervisor and asked what I could do. The response I got? "It's Monday, so I can't just send you home. If you want to leave you can, but it will be an occurance." (not an exact quote.) I was served with 2 occurances today from previous days I'd called off, and after 6 you can potentially be terminated. So I stayed. And my voice got worse. And people had problems understanding me.
Hurray for work.
So if my voice is still like this tomorrow I'll be calling off and contacting my doctor. They can just try to serve me with an occurance with a doctor's excuse. What bullshit. I followed all of the rules; I'm only supposed to be penalized for no-call no-shows... neither of which happened. Hell, I've called off before with no penalty whatsoever!
The next time someone nominates work for "Best Place to Work" I think I'll ask them how much they get paid for their nomination. This treatment is intolerable.
