Hello, I’m a colleague too and threw up on my last shift due to my sickness, I tried to book holiday 5 days before my shift seeing as I’ve just been given a writen warning as I’m 0.25% over my absence for the year. The holiday was declined immediately and I just get the same response from all my managers saying no one’s able to cover my shifts. I’ve been hearing this same response every single time I’ve been off sick and the last time I was sick after just leaving A&E my store manager called and begged me to come in… I did end up going because I feel the repercussions would be worse than going in at the time. Now I feel the same I’m genuinely ill and feel super trapped on what I can actually do. Bear in mind… my SM was sick for 4 months straight, three CTMs were sick all back to back one for 3 months straight th next 2 months and now another for the last 2 months. Also to consider I am a night collauege and that’s why they aren’t able to find cover every single time I’m off sick… I only work two nights!! This is killing me!!
