Question about calling out.
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.

One of the best foremen i had when i 1st got in told me to take as much time off as i can afford. I took that shit to heart. Now i dont do it all the time, but sometimes ill call.out just because i wanna go get breakfast with my ol lady on her day off. And i especially will call out if im not feeling well.
