I recently started a part-time job about a month ago, and while I like it, I'm feeling a lot of anxiety about my attendance. I've been late twice—one time I was five hours late, and another time I was thirty minutes late. I've also called out twice. The main issue is my home life; my mom is abusive and often keeps me awake at night, which makes it hard for me to wake up early for work. There are also times when she kicks me out at night, forcing me to stay with my dad. Today, I called out because I need to move my things from my mom's place to my dad's. I know I should have my life together at 24, but I'm struggling. This attendance issue is not typical for me, and the anxiety is overwhelming. I'm worried about how to show my employer that I'm taking action to improve my situation without divulging too much about my personal life. I understand that stable housing is crucial, but losing this job would be devastating too. I feel qualified for better opportunities, but right now, I'm just trying to manage everything.
