Say for example I texted in sick, got disciplined and told how the procedure works, on a few other occasions texted and called once or twice between but mostly texted since i have a fear of calling and absolutely hate it.

If i knew i was going to be ill at say 3am so texted a manager instead of staying awake till 7am just to call and notify but still gave notice, do HR see this as very bad.

I ask this because I know sickness procedure but always forget or just don’t follow it and just text as it’s easier and more flexible but can you be dismissed for this.

I asked a manager and they said don’t worry about it but since i have a HR meeting coming up i feel it’s more serious, or is this just DGO2 procedure.

So i’ve been working at Lidl for about 10 months now and i’m just so done. People say “oh every day is different” I can tell you now it’s not. My average day goes as follows: Get to work, get told to take my till out, spend 9.5 hrs on tills + break, go home usually at 8pm as i’m only ever scheduled 10-8 and Sundays. Most of the rude people don’t even bother me anymore I’ve lost all emotion.

Today I just had people constantly complaining or saying oh you look dead try smile more, or one woman complaining i looked miserable and apparently that’s rude like don’t say anything if you have nothing positive to say.

I ask management oh could i possibly decard today or help with back-stock and i constantly get the same reply, no we need you on tills today. I do have one manager he’s my favourite, always cheers me up and lets me get off my till for a while because he understands it’s draining.

One manager said to me, you need to prove to me you can decard properly and not do a half arsed job, (for context the one time I did that was because it was a sunday and we was supposed to finish 1 hr prior and we was all still there so I couldn’t really give a toss if it wasn’t perfect.) and then i said, how can i prove to you i can if im always on tills and never get a chance to do anything else.

I honestly almost quit today because im so done with it and got so angry deep down that I let myself put up with this job. But the job market is so bad i literally cannot afford to leave so what do I do..
