I had gone up to a supervisor on Monday, and let them know that I couldn’t make it into work on Friday, and he said okay. On my way out the door yesterday, I let a different supervisor know because my main one went on vacation. She crosses her arms and just gives me a look.
“You know you have to be here on Friday, why would you schedule a move on that day?”
“Sorry, I can’t come in, I’ve been planning this for months. My lease ends tomorrow.”
“Well, that will be an unexcused absence and we’ll have take disciplinary action…”
“Well, I’m sorry. I’m still not coming in, I need a place to live.”
“This is a 5 day a week job, that’s life. We need you here tomorrow, I don’t want to hear about your personal woes that happen outside of work.”
She got this shit eating smirk on her face, obviously pleased that she was flaunting her position of power. I just told her I’m not rescheduling and to have a nice night. She doesn’t even work in my area, she was a fill in supervisor. She doesn’t know my name, so it’s not like she could write me up even if she wanted to. Thought it would be nice to let someone know that I wouldn’t be in and I get shit for it. And people wonder why where I work has a 94% monthly turnover rate. I fucking hate it here, but I need the money.
