I told the guy working with me I had to have surgery and won't be able to work for two months, doctor's orders. We communicated thru emails. Generally people would wish you well and for a speedy recovery. The guy didn't respond. I figure he thought I was lying to get out of work when I'm the one who came to them for work to have a second job. So after my surgery I sent him pictures. He responds and says he thought he responded. By now I had lost my first job to covid 19. But he told me twice after contacting him twice after covid that there were no jobs and he'd contact me. Now he's not responding at all. I'm so disappointed
