Got my first job about a month ago. Got fired today, after my second day of being out sick. Apparently they thought I wasn't committed enough.

This sucks. Mixed emotions of anger, rejection and guilt. Should I have done more? Was it wrong of me to not come into work sick? Is my education useless? Am I useless? I don't know, I'm so... fucking...

Confused.

Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

What kind of job did you have? Usually after a month at least in the US you would not have built up enough sick time to take 2 days off yet I am not sure about Sweden.

That's what i'm curious about. In Holland the average vacation days is around 25 a year (for someone who works fulltime). These days are actually for vacation, do whatever you want on them. And if you're sick, even if it's just the sniffles, you can just call in sick and the boss pays for those days.
this game is a fucking jokie

2 days in your first month can be a lot, depending on what you do. Sometimes "committed" means going to work even if you're sick. They can't actually say that because it's dangerous, you could infect others, health and safety laws, etc. But they can just replace you.
No I'm never serious.

If it was just a highschool or college job it really doesn't matter and there are plenty of other jobs.
If it was a real job thought it would suck quite a bit T_T

Depends on your field of study I guess. Here in Quebec it's pretty easy to get a job in the computer science field.

2 days sick in first month? That is pretty bad, I feel bad doing that in a whole year.

Wow... yeah you should go in sick so they can see it and tell you to go home.

Just the fact that you're asking if it was wrong of you not to go to work sick makes me think that you basically were able to go but didn't really wanted to. Of course there are situations where you can't even move without extreme pain, but honestly it doesn't sound like you were really disabled. Next time you know better.

yeah until they trust you or know you well you pretty much have to go in when it's physically possible so they tell you to go home first
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

25 days of vacation a year on average? holy balls, i need to move to Holland. in the USA you generally have to work a full year before getting a single day of vacation and then it usually starts out at 5 days a year, and maybe stopping at 3 weeks after a number of years at a company.

Unless it was something serious (ie, not you having the sniffles, a little flu, etc) you go in and suck it up when you first start. If anything, you go in and exaggerate to go home.

Europe is totally different with sick/vacation days. Shit man, I met a girl who got six fucking weeks off fuck youuuuu Europe. Two weeks is generally the max vacation time you'll see and you need to put in a lot of time for that. Some places give sick days separate.... it really varies. A lot of places you get zero compensation for being sick.

Yeah, I didn't even do this in high school, let alone while working. Unless I'm seriously endangering the people around me, I go to school regardless of whether I feel well or not. Just go to work, and then they'll send you home knowing themselves that you were actually sick.

what the fuck is your problem. even if his firing is deserved, which is arguable, this isn't some fucking video game where you can talk shit with no real life ramifications. This is real and it sucks and there's no need to rub salt in the wounds.

go look yourself in the mirror and realize your mouth is actually your rectum and your face is actually your ass.
