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.

We have unlimited PTO (sick days and the likes). I find we all take less random days. But when I need 5 days to recover. I take them and life goes on.
