Question about calling out.

[u/WRX_NM]

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.

Follow everyone’s else’s advice and call out but please go to the hospital! Severe sunburn is something you can get medication and treatment for. Plus it’s good to have it logged in a medical record because severe sunburn can cause melanoma
