So I was scheduled to work at Gamestop on Saturday afternoon from 3:30-8:30. I got up at about 7am, right before Chris left for work and played some Final Fantasy VII for a while. Started to feel kind of icky around 9-10am, and knew I had a fever. So I took some ibuprofen and took a little nap, hoping the rest and drugs would break my fever. No such luck. It was 103 when I woke up at about 1pm. So I called Gamestop, sat on hold waiting for Todd (my manager) for about 10 mins, and he finally answers the damn phone. Told him I had a really high fever, and I wouldn't be coming in so I could rest and try to sleep it off. Well he was totally pissed, which I can kind of understand since it was Saturday and I know the mall was busy, but he was very rude and hung up on me in the end. Now, I'm only supposed to give 1 hours notice if I'm going to miss work there and I gave him 2.5. My friend Erik, the assistant manager at the other store, called to check on me because he heard that I wasn't feeling good and I told him how rude Todd was. I also told him that during my initial interview with Todd, he stated that he hired me because "You're a girl and sex sells" which is totally wrong and I'm pretty sure it's illegal too. I've also been told by Diana (one of the assistant manager's at Todd's store) that he once scheduled her for a day she requested off, and when she explained that she needed that day and couldn't work, he flipped out and slammed a chair on the floor repeatedly while screaming "Fuck" at the top of his lungs.
Erik says I should report Todd to the District Manager and work exclusively at Erik's store and not Todd's. I already put my 2 weeks notice in at Todd's store, but should I report him? Or just forget about it and not let it get to me?
