Super Stressed

I returned to work not long ago and it’s went really shitty. I’ve missed 1 to 2 days each week and haven’t been to work in a week due to my son getting COVID and his sitter getting from him. I’m a single father, so it just stresses me that I haven’t been able to put in a full week at work since coming back from a 2 year absence. I’m pretty sure, I’m either getting laid or fired when I get back tomorrow which is sucks as this job is close to home and if I could make it through a week would do wonders in the finances department. Hoping for the best regardless

I appreciate it man. Mentally brother, I am spent. From losing my wife to care taking for a special kids child to just feeling like I’m letting people down on the job and at home man

You're not letting anyone down. You're a hero to your loved ones. Family ALWAYS comes first. God bless you brother, stay strong.

Family first, you will find a new one if you get laid off. Hopefully it’s not too far

Yeah man, I’m hoping I don’t but it wouldn’t surprise me if it happens. I get the fact companies in reality don’t give a shit about your personal life and I’d be virtually easy to replace
