I'm glad you understand. My issue is I'm on probationary period because I new so I'm not allowed to call call out without potentially loosing my job. They sure do say ' don't come sick ' but then you call in sick and they order you in for proof of...
Ok maybe I came off wrong. I am not asking if I should see a doctor nor mentioned if I had or hadn't because my personal condition wasn't the focus of this discussion. All of us in health care don't have to state the obvious of the risk a sick empl...
