I work in a factory. The rule for reporting off work is you MUST call in 2 hours ahead of your shift to report you will not be there. I have been written up 2 times in the past year for calling in less than 2 hours due to legit medical reasons. Not to go into detail, but I have been having some medical problems since the first of the year that require I report off work several days a week. I have not worked a full week since the middle of January when all this started. ANYWAY:
Tonight, getting my shower for work, I got bit by a spider on the top of my foot. I wear glasses so I could not tell what kind of spider and, well, I also squished the mess out of it!!
The top of my foot is now swollen, red, and itching like crazy. I put alcohol on it to hopefully take care of any venom. I must wear steel toed boots and, while I got my boot on, my foot feels like it is wedged in my boot.
So my question is: Would you chance getting fired from the best paying job (not to mention great insurance) you have ever had by reporting off less than 2 hours before the shift, or would you go on into work and hope it got better? I really don't want to miss another night or get written up again or fired. I am just wondering what others would do.
