work crap

[wendyzski]

I called in sick yesterday. I started feeling sick to my stomach around 10AM on Tuesday, but by early morning yesterday I was very nauseated and had stomach cramps. I called in around 7 and told them I was taking meds and going back to bed. Then I fell asleep on the couch, and did not wake until 1:30.

Because I did not call back after 9 I was written up and am suspended for 2 days. Franky, one day is awesome, because I still feel like crap and haven't eaten anything more substantial than oatmeal. The second day is just annoying - their answer to being inconvenienced because I am not there is not hot have me there for 2 days? Whatever...

So I'm going to start looking for a job again. I'm bloody tired of this crap.

My sympathies at having to find out the hard way that the company you work for doesn't treat their employees like adults. I worked at a place like that for a while.

As much as I bitch and groan about my job, the company does have the most flexible scheduling policies of anyplace I've seen -- and that makes up for a lot.

BTW...emailed you on a job opening.
