I need to vent and know I'm not losing it (1 Viewer)

[Lovely_Cornchips]

Basically, in the span of like a little less than a month, my grandma passed away, and I came down with COVID symptoms.

As a result, I have missed 7 days of work since beginning my job 3 months ago. I still don't have my results back and it's been like 3 to 4 days and my boss is basically saying this is ridiculous every other place takes way less time and even asked if I was sick over the phone. I don't sound sick because some of my symptoms have cleared, but that doesn't always mean I'm better-especially if I DO have COVID.

They made it sound like it was over if I don't get my results by tomorrow, and now I'm at a point where I want it to be over because this is ridiculous. I can't control how long my test takes to process, and I'm in a state that is having a sudden influx of cases as well. I've been sick with anxiety through all this mess because I don't do well with confrontation or letting others down or not WORKING because I feel lazy and like a good for nothing bum but I hate all of this mess and I can't fix it because I can't control how long test results take-but this also showed my new jobs way of functioning.

Because they are using my grandma's death and the time I took off for that and this other legitimate issue as reasons to consider firing me. And I don't know what to fucking do but I needed to vent real bad please tell me if I'm in the wrong or if I fucked up somehow.

sweetheart
i totally feel you
i know how it feels to be stuck and treated unfairly, especially by work people

look at it from another point of view
even though this truly sucks
would you really want to continue with these people knowing how unfair they are being with you? how unreasonable this is?
they showing you their true colors and they obviously seem not worthy
a good company would treat you way better
this place is not for you
you deserve better

i say try to look for a new job asap and try to find a place that treats you better
but maybe that's just me
FIGHTING!

Thanks, this is just rough all around because I'm someone who likes having a job. I like working. I like having an income. But this is too rough and I'm having a hard time forcing myself to quit even though I know it would be for the best. I wanted to go back to school and all of this stuff, but it may just be better for me to look for part-time work to get me through school.

Aww chirps, I'm so sorry you've had all that happen to you. That's awful and your job is frankly not a good place if they're treating you that way. I second looking for a new job, even if it's just part time. It's dangerous for you to work right now and they should know better.

funny enough i been going through similar stuff
and right now decided to try to go back to school
i am older than most around here probably
and i was like FAK IT, i should take this oppportunity and turn it around by finally going back to school and do a study i have real passion for
it will get me into bit of a study debt but oh well, the rules on paying it back later on are pretty chill in my country i think so ill be fine as long as i find a job afterwards.... so far the research checks out the salary i can get if i work hard will be pretty neat so i am not going to worry too much
neither should you!
you probably way younger than me, you are going to be fine!
i also had to do the test, i was tested negative and you will be as well

now let's be badass , work hard and get our dream job in the future
we cool, fuck them people right

Thank you-I'm working on a letter of resignation right now but I'm going to sleep on it just to be safe and figure out if this is really what I want.
