//ranting, mentions of vomit, swearing

so, i woke up today w a stomach bug. i called out of work 4 hrs early (2-3 hrs early is the minimum, btw) and let them know i was vomiting and couldn't make it (i also have a fever). the manager then proceeds to tell me that if i don't have a dr note, i'll get a write up. that's fucking ridiculous!
not everybody can afford to just go to the dr; not everyone has good enough insurance to do so (#american_things 🤪). and how is she to know i'm not one of those ppl? (spoiler: i am, plus the fact that i'm minor. i'm entirely dependent on my parents to take me to the doctor). and even if i did go to the doctor, what the hell is he gonna do? it's a stomach bug. he may give me anti-vomiting medicine, but that's it. i'm just gonna get the most basic advice: rest, drink water, take fever meds as needed.
i'm not gonna go to work and get penalized for smth i had absolutely no control over. i've not worked at this place long, but still. i haven't called out before and i've worked for this company before, you could easily look at my employee file and see that i've never called out for no reason. i do my job wo complaining and i'm polite and efficient. i refuse to sign the write up. idc if they fire me. i've checked the employee handbook, and i didn't see a single thing that said i have to have a dr note.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with that and I hope you feel better soon. The American health system is f*cked up in the fact that they seek to profit from others' pain. Healthcare can be expensive even if you have insurance, but if you don't then you're screwed. Also, the hustle culture and the fact that you are expected to come to work even if you are sick is just horrible. Feel better!

not always, i have classmate who will only talk to me if i have something they want (i:e food or answers)
Yeah I know its wrong to think
Literally they would be so rude to me and the moment they hear the bag crinkling they're like "hey bestie!" but they don't even know my name

Might lose my best friend (the one I met back in April) if I say some things to her because we both have different opinions on the matter at hand and…idk what to do….part of me wants to just tell her what I think of the matter and who cares if I piss her off and she never wants to talk to me again, but part of me is holding my tongue because I don’t want to lose her friendship…but the part of me that’s known for “ghosting” says fuck it

If I pretend America doesn't exist, maybe it'll go away /lh

Sorry you got stuck in this shitty situation. Hope you feel better soon <3
