My dog will glue herself to me better than a shadow after we eat dinner. She knows that after dinner, she gets a treat. So if I am busy with whatever it is before we have our evening tea/coffee outside(she gets her treat outside and some fresh air), I could be followed step for step for probably an hour. She has a laser focus on the prize and will not be distracted. I've not tested that theory because after about 10 minutes of constant shadowing and almost tripping over her, I'm feeling the pressure to give in.

Yea, those pretty plugs with the gem at the end are not wide enough to not get stuck. I only know this because I read a really funny story about a girl with a gem plug who got hers stuck like yours. Thankfully it didn't require surgery though. I'm sorry you had a really bad outcome.

I think that after explaining to your manager that you had in fact exhausted your resources to let your workplace know that you would not be coming in and they still don't get it, you need to find a new employer. Explain that part to mom too. You tried. You really really did.

A workplace does not own you. You receive compensation for work done. You are not their slave.

I would call corporate and explain that it is unethical to expect a minor who had to leave school due to illness be required to report to work even after using the app for communication. Manager needs to have their own come to Jesus moment with the HR dept and grow some damn compassion.
