Hey all, was super excited to start this week, and I woke up sick yesterday and hasn't gotten any better today.

I started on Wednesday morning as inbound, (5a-130p) and I enjoyed it, however, yesterday and today I woke up sick and its the flu, I went to urgent care but I'm not sure if I need a doctor's note.

I used the mytime feature this morning (well last night), but I'm not sure if I'll be better by tomorrow (next shift)

What can I do? I don't want to get in trouble, and of course I had to get sick right when the job started
 
I tried to call into the store but I everytime I called, I'd get a "You've reached a non working number at target corporation" message so not sure what to do there

If you're genuinely sick with the flu, it's better to stay home and recover rather than spreading it to the rest of the team. Most places will appreciate a doctor's note from urgent care just to keep your file clean, especially since you're new.
