For context, I work at a place that is open for half the day on Saturdays. We have a rotating schedule for who works on Saturdays and we’re given a half day M-F if we work that Saturday as to insure no one gets OT.

A few weeks ago when my boss was making the schedule, he informed me that I’ll have to work 2 Saturdays in a row, but I’ll get 2 Saturdays off in a row. Sure, no problem. Fast forward to this past Thursday, and it’s brought to my attention that I’m working this Saturday (today) and that I’m actually not getting 2 weekends off in a row as originally told. He sent me home for my half day, and I got sick about 30 minutes after getting home. (Bad cold; coughing, congestion, phlegm, the whole deal).

I called off yesterday and today. He laid into me on the phone this morning, basically accusing me of calling off because I’m butthurt about working saturday/not getting 2 Saturdays off in a row. He even told me “that’s not going to work” in regard to me saying I can’t come in, before throwing more accusations at me and ultimately hanging up the phone.

I don’t have a history of calling off for no reason. He heard me on the phone sounding like trash/struggling to breathe through my nose. Is he upset that he has to do the job he gets paid a large salary to do and find coverage or possibly cover himself?
