called in sick today
hey all,
I caught a cold as it seems everyone around me is ill, so I called in sick at 7:40am this morning. However, my manager never asked me what I had. She just said 'ok' and hung up the phone. Somehow I feel like she does not believe me, but given that I am still in my 3 months probationary period, this could have repercussions on my contract, right?

Do you work in a supermarket? Yeah this happened to me before and I thought the same thing but it turned out loads of people were off sick, so I think she was just fed up answering the phone asking the same thing.

The very strict manager will sack you since you have no employment rights yet.
The strict manager will give you a verbal warning for poor attendance.
The more relaxed manager will be annoyed, but won't do anything providing you make up for the time later on, and work more overtime once in a while.
The friendly manager will show compassion and completely agree you should stay off work just because you have a cold.
I've been to work even when I have the flu. It's not a good enough excuse to call in sick when you're working in a supermarket where you're easily replaceable, and you haven't worked over 2 years to get employment rights.
