I got my wisdom teeth (all 4) cut out this weekend and am still on loritabs every 4-6 hours for pain. Today is supposed to be the last day of my two weeks notice ( I am switching jobs next week ) But I'm on pain pills and shouldn't be opperating factory machinery which is what I do. Would it be bad for me to call in on my last day? I still have to go in Wednesday to get my paycheck but right now I can't even drive much less operate complictaed machinery. If I called in would that make me look bad? My employer knows I got my wisdom teeth cut out this weekend.
Since your employer knows you had the surgery, you can bring it a note if it really matters. What I would do, if possible, is try to find a replacement so that they won't be left shorthanded, that way the employer knows you at least tried. If you were a good employee the whole time you worked there, then not coming on the last day (for a legitimate and verifiable reason) shouldn't be an issue.
