Okay not really.
None the less, i have a huge rant. Last week around weds, I started feeling like shit at work, cold sweats..fever etc.
I never EVER ask to go home early. And btw this was at least midnight or 1 am.
But I felt like shit and wanted to head home ( over an hour drive i might add. )
They refused and I finished out the night.
They also refused to let me call off the next day at work.
So I took tylenol before I left and other otc fixes.
By 12 am, my body freaked out. I got dizzy...my lungs felt like they were burning and I wanted to throw up.
I was in the VIP room so I just finished out what time I had left and didnt even attempt to go any longer.
I sat down and told mgmnt " look im fucking dying here , I need to lay down till i'm well enough to head home. " because at the time I felt so shakey and sick that I didnt think I could make the drive home.
now I also came in at 7 pm ( 2 hours earlier then usual ) meaning I could tech. leave at 1 am.
guess what
they said no.
I made my way up to the dressing room and told the housemom there was NO way in fucking hell I was getting back up on stage , that i was sick and they would have to go on without me.
in which they did of course.
So I drive home to chicago, to end up in the ER.. with get this pnemonia. Of all things to have .
I am finding myself a bit pissed that my mgmnt didnt believe I was ill, didn't allow me to at least go home. I feel like that extra day at work and a few hours sorta was overkill on my lungs with all the smoke etc.
I seriously wish sometimes we had a nurse at the club. it would make sense to have one. I tried calling off tomorrow by calling in today , because there is no way I'll be anywhere close to well by even weds.
and what did they say " call back monday at the start of your shift " ... umm right so i call back at 930 and they say no dice and i get my ass chewed by the owner.
This entire ordeal makes me want to pull out my fucking hair. If i had the energy.
where on gods green earth do they even get the right to tell us when we can work? If i'm not on payroll... considered an independant contractor?
Sometimes this shit makes me want to get a lawyer to just stand up for my rights as far as this shit goes
