Still feeling a bit nauseous from my flu shot. So I am getting in trouble at work for calling in sick:
I felt sick and decided that I should stay home from work so I called the overnight staff at 2am, and asked if he could stay a few hours extra until my boss comes in the morning to make sure supports are in place. He agreed. Because he would go into overtime, the protocol is that I need approval from the on-call manager. However, she directly told me that she would be upset if I had called her at 2am to wake her up just for shift approval. So I didn't call. I ended up passing out and didn't wake until after my shift started. I called the on-call manager to get approval after the fact. She said that she couldn't.
The next day, I get an email from my boss that they want me to come into head office to discuss. I was livid. I sent an email stating that I couldn't call. And that I would love to know what to do. Because I can only call for approval after my shift had already started. I'm pissed, cus I did what I could do with the option that was only available. But because I didn't follow protocol, I am being called in. I better not get written up for this. It's not rational that I am getting in trouble.
