This is dumb

Are all jobs like this?

Well, last night at work I was vomiting. At this point they still made me work, actually gave me more work saying I was slacking.

Tonight, I feel the same, I call in sick, they say that if I don't show up I'll lose my job.

How is this justified?

What is the job?

Do you have some history of faking illness to get out of work or such things?

It's a dishwashing job.

And for the record, in the seven months I've worked there, I've only ever called in sick once.

That's pretty ridiculous. I don't think that's right.

My job is very easygoing about calling in sick as long as you don't take advantage of it. If I stay home from school and feel terrible, I just have to call them in the morning and explain why I'm not coming in and there's no problem.

Just quit. Putting up with that isn't worth it.Cube_of_MooN

Exactly. Surely there are better jobs.

I really should quit. Unfortunately, though, the job market is horrendous right now though.

The second I find a job as a replacement, I'm quitting. (I just moved out on my own (18) so I can't really quit unless I have another source of income to pay the rent.)

Must be a new job ? You got a bad luck. No, all jobs are not like these, but most job = hard work.

It has nothing to do with hard work, but yeah...
