I was really ill yesterday so I had the day off work, I told my boss that I still wasn’t feeling well but as I am due to go on holiday in a few days I would try and work as much as I could from home today so that all my work was up to date. Later on in the day I ended up having to go to the hospital. The whole time I was there my boss was texting me work issues and questions even though she knew where I was. She then rang me to tell me what an inconvenience the situation was. What do I do?

This is really alarming behavior from your manager. When people show you who they are, believe them!

Time to search for a new job. If you have down time on vacation, do some job hunting and send in some applications!

I’m so overwhelmed by all the messages and support on this post! Thank you all so so much! I’ve starting looking for another job. I reported the situation to HR but was pretty much told that I would have it worse in another company and I should be grateful. I work in the fashion industry so I guess it’s normal to be treated crap? I’ve decided if I don’t have a new job in a month I’m just gonna leave and take a little hiatus. I’m feeling much better now thank you so much again to you all ❤️

Had a similar issue, I was hospitalized after a very serious urgent surgery and my boss kept sending me stuff to do because (in his words) he knew "I liked it"🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. No HR where I work, my title is just a fancy way of saying "total slave for a workaholic boss". His EA quit after only 2 weeks and even though I am still recovering, the guy won't let up on sending me stuff to do.But according to him it's ok because he prefaces everything with "health comes first but if you could please do....". I am a contractor so I only get paid for the hours I work meaning I haven't gotten paid for nearly 3 weeks so I have to grin and bear it and do what I can while still in so much post-op pain...total nightmare.Applying to jobs but at nearly 60 years old it's slim pickings out there...ugh

Chief of Staff- as you said, if they are asking what year you graduated HS, they are obviously doing so as a way to infer your age. This is technically illegal. The only time they are allowed to ask anything regarding age is when they have to verify that an applicant is legally old enough to work the job (I.e. older than 18). My father had similar difficulties job searching in his 60s, but did find something stable after a time. I wish you the best in your search and that your next employer respects your health, time, and experience!
