2 managers had a talk with me yesterday about my attendance.
Because I called in once, and I’ve been late 4 times under 90 days.
Yesterday i accidentally took Trazadone (a sleeping medication for insomnia) instead of my Prozac, I was still waking up and I was in a rush to leave for work that I just took it without thinking. And on my way to work I was very sleepy, my eyes were wanting to close. So I got to work on time and then I headed back bc I was having a panic attack bc I was feeling super drowsy. I got home and that’s when i realized I took the wrong medication. So ofc I called in 2 hours later, and I took a nap for 2 hours and I felt better. Still groggy, but not as much.
The day before yesterday my boyfriend accidentally took my car to work, and mind you he works 30 mins away from home. He couldn’t have brought my car back, and I wasn’t sure if his brother was gonna be able to take me bc he’s known for being unreliable, luckily he did wake up but I had already called in bc I didn’t want to call in last minute.
And yesterday they had a talk with me and I basically felt cornered, and one of the managers told me to get it together after I explained to her that things have been rocky at home, and that it was just not under my control. She even told me “I’m not saying we don’t care but get it together” and I started tearing up. 🥺 the other manager stayed quiet, and didn’t say much, and was nicer but that mean manager threatened me to fire me, if I’m late on more time or if I call out one more time. The nicer manager told me my work ethic is good but that it won’t matter if I keep showing up late or calling off. I explained to them that it was just unpredictable , but they didn’t seem to care.
It made me so sad. And I was in a bad mood all of yesterday, and every time I go through something I always feel like I’m the only person in the world to have ever experienced this. I always feel so alone in my feelings, maybe bc I feel my feelings too much.
I’m not looking for advice unless you have some. I ofc take full responsibility for my actions, and my time. I know I can only just make sure to be there on time and show up everyday im scheduled.
But I just want to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. 😔
