I’ve been worrying about it all day since I got home from work. So basically I work for a trailer company that makes trailers for livestock and such, and I work as a robot welding operator. It’s a pretty awful job tbh because 80% of the time there’s no parts/materials for us to use to actually make the trailers. Extremely under staffed. 

I’ve worked there for around 8 months now and haven’t missed a day. As I said before we constantly run out of parts/materials and today was especially bad. I usually find something to do eventually during a shift but today I literally had nothing to do. So I thought “fuck it” and for the last 2 hours of my shift I hid in the toilet and went on my phone. An hour and a half into slacking off I hear a knock on the cubicle door and it’s my team leader and he tells me he’s been looking for me everywhere. He gave me a warning and told me not to do it again. I’ve been constantly worrying ever since. I’m scared that I’m going to come in on Monday and the manager is going to fire me. I shouldn’t have slacked off for that long I know and it was a really dumb thing to do but I just got so frustrated with the lack materials and overall organisation of the place that I just couldn’t be bothered anymore. Sorry if this is a bit of a jumbled mess but just needed to get it out of me.
