How would you proceed from here? should I just pretend like nothing happened? I was thinking of acting like I fucked my back up a bit to play it up.

relax, lil nigger. you only have to do this 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, for 50 more years (less your 10 days of vacation a year which are accrued at 0.83 days per month.)

You fucked up saying back pain. In these situations (I take 3-4 mental days a year like this) you ALWAYS say you have "stomach issues" and allude to it being diarrhea. No one will question that because everyone has had that experience and it sucks. I'll also say stuff like "it just comes up a few times a year, doctors dont know whats wrong to be honest we've tried a lot of diet changes with no success"

and if you want real advice, get used to handling adversity. put up with this bullshit for another year and enroll in college for a useful degree so you don't have to deal with working in a warehouse or whatever it is you do for the next 50 years. working sucks but having a comfy office job is infinitely more tolerable than being a nigger slave in a warehouse making shit money.

1) read the Bible, start with the Gospel or Proverbs
2) lift/swimming
3) go out, get some vitamin d
4) wage and save for the bottom (next year prob)
5) plan what you want from life, take small steps to achieve it
6) reject neetdom
7) be truthful, don’t play it up

I was going to say i was taking a 'mental health day" like a normie faggot but i just couldn't do it. it felt cringe. But I guess if it comes down to that and quitting, taking the day off is probably better. i only missed 1 other day cause i got a bad flu (Might have been covid) but didn't test,

It was a great team and company but the director who took the decision was shit and there was high turnover under him anyway. He's getting replaced now I think so I might go back when they inevitably beg me to return once he leaves, if they give me a big salary increase that is.

OP I've got all sorts of real medical issues/herniated discs in my neck and my l5-s1 with a tumor in my spine(work doesn't know) along with a compromised immune system where my organs are constantly getting engorged which will likely lead to one of them rupturing at some point.

Point being work only knows my back and neck are fucked up and I call out at least 2-3x a week, they couldn't care less they are just happy I'm showing up when I do, as long as you aren't completely incompetent at your job they won't hold health issues real or fake against you.

Also I get more credit card sales than everyone in the store combined so they benefit from me regardless and just want to see me get healthy so they can pad their numbers, like I said if you aren't completely incompetent they will work with you.

i'm not missing work 40-60% of the time. i'm missing it like 2.5% of the time. Out of 40 shifts i've missed 2 so far. Problem is, my "probationary period" isn't over yet, that's why i'm a little worried.
