Question on what I can do?

Question

Wow.. Im totally stressed... Im a college student on summer break and I work construction (May until October, Mon-Friday 7-4).. Well tonight my family got a call and my grandfather has pneumonia and congestive heart failure and not sure how much longer he has so my parents and I wanna go up to Pennsylvania to see him (We live in Florida) and we are going to be gone for a week, until Friday.. the problem is, if I call my job and leave them a message now, will I lose my job?? I know its a full week and the night before we leave but there's nothing else I can do. I'm so overstressed and can't stop thinking about losing my job because its short notice.. What can I do??

Answer 1

Call and talk to your manager andd let them know what is going on. Do you have anyway of getting a hold of someone at home? I would say no matter what you can always find another job but this is your only chance to see your grandfather. I would leave a message if I have to and go. If you don't go and he passes away you will regret not going for the rest of your life. I hope that everything works out for you. Best of Luck. God Bless You and your Family!
