I was just fired from a job I’ve been working at for a little over a year. In that timespan I have not missed a single day of work, nor have I been late. I showed up every day and did my job to the fullest extent and didn’t even so much as complain. Last weekend I had a family emergency and had to call off on Saturday. I am off Sunday, so I come in Monday morning only to find I’m not on the schedule for the week. They fired me for calling off on Saturday. I’m not even mad, just baffled. This same place is constantly understaffed and it wasn’t uncommon for us to work 70+ hours a week. So I’ve come to find in my experience there is no such thing as “putting in time”. Your manager will stab you in the back over the slightest inconvenience.
