I just cannot function that way. I am very sure my co-workers and customers would not want to see me hurling into a garbage can all day. But, if you have a head cold, take some medicine, and get your ass to work. Dog died? Sorry for you loss, but bury the dog, and get to work. You have to re-arrange your house and move some stuff around(I have actually had someone call in and try to use this excuse)? I don't give a shit, get your ass to work and you can do that on YOUR own time. My personal favorite is the can't work on Sunday because of church. Wait, didn't you tell me in your interview and put down on your application that you COULD work on Sundays? No problem, I will just reduce your hours where you will have plenty of time to "go to church". These are excuses from workers at least over 23 years old.I won't accept any of these lame excuses.
My assistant manager was bitten on his left leg by a brown recluse spider. This was in 2006. There is now a HUGE hole in his leg not only from where the spider bit him , but the many surgeries he has had to try and repair the veins in his leg to get right amount of blood flow back into his leg. He is in constant pain. Goes to the doctor constantly for pain pills and treatment, but the leg just will not heal. I have seen this grown man( when I say grown man 33 years old about 6'3" 300lbs ex-football player who loves games), cry from the pain in his leg after he bumped his leg on a box in our store. Now this man comes to work EVERY day. No excuses. He could call in and I would totally understand why he could not come into work that day. He has another surgery planned for May the 9th and if that surgery does not work, then he might need to have his leg amputated.
Here's what a brown recluse spider can do to your thumb:
Pretty damn nasty. So , the next time you think of calling into work, think of all of the people out there who go to work every day without any excuses.
