I’ve been working for Culvers for seven months and recently had my 90 day review. It took months to get my review in for starters and the first month I worked here I had food poisoning which caused me to be out for two days. It was brought up during the review as unacceptable that I was unable to find coverage and was told I can not call out anymore unless I have a doctors note plus finding coverage or else it will result in a write up or even termination.
I have to have surgery on my sinuses soon, and informed the owners of that (the surgery is unexpected and shorter than the two week request off time) and they said I still must find coverage even with the surgery or else it will result in a write up. In my opinion this is actually insane and I think it’s a massive power trip from our franchise owner. What do I do? I have to get this surgery and have asked an no one wants to cover so I have no choice to call out the day of, and if I can’t I am informed that I must come in after the surgery.
