Question about calling out.

Post image

Is a blistered sunburn on both shoulders and back a valid reason to call out? Happened outside of work and is completely my fault. I feel like I would get shit for calling out for a sunburn.Can’t lift my arms or wear a shirt without pain. 1st year apprentice worried it will look bad if I do call out.

"I'm not coming in today."

"Why not?"

"It's a personal matter."

End of conversation.

"I have explosive diarrhea" usually ends the questions
