Managers really don’t care about us being sick…

I may have gotten too used to my old job, where my manger would tell me take all the time I needed and when I came back she would go above and beyond to make sure I’m rested enough.

Welp, not at this new job. I have a respiratory infection. Took two days off (not back to back because I thought I could push through the second day but made myself worse) this week. Today I forget to take my OOO off. I get an email super early asking if I’m out today because she didn’t get any request. I assure her I’m working today. She then requests a call immediately.

I can barely talk and have a major headache but I’m trying my hardest to engage. She’s complaining about work I have to do (which won’t even take me an hour to do) and then ends the call with “well you have a lot to do by tomorrow…”

She didn’t ask me how I was feeling. Didn’t offer any help with the work. I’m so disappointed and upset and angry. They say leadership will run good employees away. They aren’t lying. This was my first time missing days or being sick since being hired 5 months ago and this is how I was treated.
