Is a bad sprained ankle enough to justify calling out of work? I work at a dog salon for context so a lot of the job is standing. Putting weight on my foot hurts much less walking. I can call out right???

yes for sure. if they give you shit for it, you can say that you don’t want to make the injury worse while on the job and have to worry about work compensation

yes you should call out of any job that requires standing for a sprain and keep it elevated with ice as much as possible.

I feel like I am being a weak baby but it does hurt and I am unstable walking and I’d hate to fall on wet floor and or while holding a dog
