When some policy changes on a company, your manager should send an email with the information and make you sign it in order to know that you read it, understand it and agree with what has changed.

If you didn't sign that information, it's 100% your manager's fault.

Edit: that being said, you did FU by involving your mother. You should be able to solve your problems.

It sounds like there was no confusion. The manager saw the email saying they couldn't make it and then responded by emailing them the sick notice form? Or am i misreading that? If the case if they responded with "call in correctly or not at all" then they didn't miss anything they are just ass holes.

I think that after explaining to your manager that you had in fact exhausted your resources to let your workplace know that you would not be coming in and they still don't get it, you need to find a new employer. Explain that part to mom too. You tried. You really really did.

A workplace does not own you. You receive compensation for work done. You are not their slave.

I would call corporate and explain that it is unethical to expect a minor who had to leave school due to illness be required to report to work even after using the app for communication. Manager needs to have their own come to Jesus moment with the HR dept and grow some damn compassion.
