People get pissed off in this industry all the time. No, they don't have a foot to stand on. Fuck em.

Enjoy your two days off. Hope you recover quickly.

nothing is going to happen to you, they can get mad all they want and bitch you out, but they can't disciplined you if you have the confirmation number.  You have no idea how often CCAs call off in big offices.

Haha yeah. Perks of being from a small town where nobody wants to fucking retire even though they can’t hardly do the job anymore.

Lol 6 years as a cca... i was a cca for 10 months before converting... but fuck them lol seriously who cares.

Yeah I understand that. I kind of take it personally when they ask the coworker who called me if I was really sick though.

Na, you'll be fine. Can't really blame them for being annoyed, nothing personal against you, just angry over the circumstances. 

I doubt you hear a word about it when you get back.

Not sure if it’s the same everywhere but in my area you need 3 call outs in a 90 period to trigger a PDI. Management can go directly to hell.

FUCK THEM. bring a doctors note if you can.

You can call sick up to 3 days without a note, go to the store and buy some pepto bismol. Bring the receipt after your 3 days off. Fuck em.

Those 3 day only count as one absence.

I would welcome it after 6 years of being treated as if I don’t have a life outside the PO :)

You will be fired on Monday. Say goodbye to your friends and customers! Thank you for your service.

I’ve been a CCA for 6 years, finally got the opportunity to carry mail in my hometown about a year an a half ago (ironically right before they announced 24 months of relative standing CCA’s would be converted to PTF) I’m pretty regular in attendance. This is only the second time I’ve called in sick in a whole year. One of my coworkers called me when they got off saying how pissed off management was because they had to call in an ODL carrier and turn the brand new CCA loose on her own today. I’ve never really had any problems with management in this office yet. Do they have any foot to stand on when it comes to discipline when I come back to work? I won’t actually be interacting with my postmaster (the one who is supposedly very pissed at me) until Monday. Tomorrow was my NS day and never received a text/call saying that was changed. Thanks for any and all input!
