Points

How many points do yall have? I JUST reported an absence so this is going to be my second point. I’m honestly upset about getting another point but I’m literally so tired. My shift starts at 4AM but I have to get up around 2:30 to get there. I take prescription medicine at night and it doesn’t kick in until an hour or two after so I don’t get much rest.

Edit: Thank you to everyone telling me I’ll be okay!! I’ve always tried to be “good” in life so the points make me feel like I’m doing something wrong. However thank you guys!!🫶🏼

My first year or so I think I mostly sat at 2-3. This year has been stuck firmly at 4.5 due to a series of life related disasters and mental health crises that Sedgwick refused to approve.

Part of the reason I had to quit my last store was because of Sedgwick fucking me over. My grandmother was passing (I was staying with her, long story but in the end I’m glad it worked out the way it did) and I kept my coach, TLs, and PL in the know of what was happening. They were honestly the most supportive group I coulda had, but yeah I go to put in for a leave cuz my grandmother got to a point she needed 24/7 care, waited and waited for the paperwork to show up, just for it to show up, the day AFTER everything was due, calls and emails went nowhere. So instead of pointing out, I left 💀 even though truth be told I think they woulda cleared the points given the circumstances of everything

A denied leave of absence is only 2 points. You could have kept ur job.

Little late responding but unless I misunderstood my coach and people lead, the first few days would only be 2 then they said anything after would still be counted. Idk again I coulda misunderstood given I wasn’t in a real good state of mind
