It may have been that they do care but, just frustrated with call outs and having to find replacements. Please try and look at it from both sides. Supervising staff is not always the easiest. Unfortunately, those that call out excessively makes it hard for those that really need to take time off. Just think about it.
No where I work it's every day some new and extraordinary reasons for people to not come to work. 3 weeks and one employee alone has called in 9 times. My manager won't do anything about it cuz it's a body they say. There are plenty of bodies I'm the cemetery, I don't suggest we hire those. So yes since I can't hire or fire I will definitely let you know I don't belive your stupid lie of the day. Not saying this is your case, just saying there are cases where it's beyond ridiculous. I'm sitting in front of my job right now getting ready to walk in and see how my day is going to be made harder and my hours made longer to pick up the slack that I have to pick up from some moron that called in over having some African sleeping syphilis that will magically be healed tomorrow.
I told mine yesterday that I was sick and going to urgent care, and they hung up on me 😒
I have they only care about the money you make not you as an individual they let me go because I was do for my raise and they wasn't trying to pay me I was a very hard good worker focus help them with customers kept good relationships between customers an the company stayed late in the warehouse for them helping out trying hard to show them your worth but they don't care.
I spent 2 years fighting to be taken off a particular shift at work because it was destroying my physical health (I'd been doing shifts which messed up my sleeping patterns for 5 years) and my mental health. The shift involved being alone in a quiet room for hours, which is not good when you have distressing intrusive thoughts. We had many meetings about it, where I explained everything. I had a complete mental breakdown at one point and had to take 6 weeks off work. Multiple times I broke down at work and had to be taken out of the room to be calmed down. I provided my medical details about my major depressive disorder and severe anxiety. I explained why being taken off this shift would help me
At the end of it all I was told by my manager, and I quote: "If I put someone else on that shift it will inconvenience them if they want to go out on the weekends."
I quit a couple of weeks later.
I recently started a new position and I had gotten sick to the point of having to go to hospital. When I returned, I was told that I needed to plan my days off better,
I got let go 2 weeks ago today. Said I missed to many days. I had cancer and cancer surgery, out for 2 weeks, Dr sent Dr excuse, called. But Alabama is The Right To Fire State.
I guess I hit the jackpot so far as management. My husband was in an accident, I called in to say I would be late, they insisted I take the entire day off. They have pushed through same day PTO for unexpected family issues..
I got into an accident at 3am heading into work. Lady didn’t stop at her stop sign. When I called my boss saying I just got hit, he goes “really, so are you saying I have to go in?” No are you okay, no comfort just inconvenience
I could understand a lack of response if you always have excuses to be late or calling off. A job is a job and you are like a puzzle piece essentially, in terms of helping that business run .
Employees expect jobs to care when it's very hard to truly care when managers have so much work to do and so many issues going on all the time.
Yup, never work for Alaska Airlines.
Yes I work in a place as we speak
