Hello. Never been to this sub before but I need advice. tl;dr at bottom.
I started a new job literally yesterday. I'm merchandising which means I'm driving around stocking shelves at various stores. Yesterday after my first day of training, I was home for over an hour and my wrist started hurting. It hurt so much it kept me up for hours at night even with the brace I went out and bought. Waited for hours today at urgent care and doctor said no lifting anything more than 10 lbs., no gripping/grasping, and no repetitive movement. As you might imagine, this is pretty much 100% of my merchandising job.
My future schedule has me off on Thurs and Fri, so my manager told me to go ahead and take these days off to get used things. My idea is to go in tomorrow to talk to my manager in person, explain that my first day went very well, but had a freak injury after I was settled in at home. I'd emphasize that I'd like to continue to shadow my leads and learn the ins and outs of the job, but that I'd have to take things easy/slow with mt left hand.
My dad is trying to tell me that this is a bad idea. He says it's going to look really bad for me to come in with a doctor's note before my second day of work and that I should basically try to power through it while taking things easy, and that if I show up with a doctor's note they probably won't let me work at all. This is a big deal for me because I've been without a job for nearly half a year, which was really stressing me out and taking a toll mentally.
My manager stressed the importance of communication for this job, and keeping management and leads "in the know" and "up to date."
I'm pretty sure I want to go in regardless of what my dad says, but a lot of the conflicting feelings come in because he's the warehouse manager at this company and he's been with them for years.
TL;DR: started a new job after months of unemployment, got a wrist injury once I was home from my first day of work that pretty much completely inhibits my ability to perform this job. I want to discuss this with my manager in person. My dad, the company's warehouse manager, says that this will look bad and to power through.
