My father in law was recently diagnosed with cancer and was scheduled for surgery a few days ago. Then I found out my mother injured her knee and would be undergoing surgery that same week. I asked my boss if I could work two days from home so I could be there in case they needed help and then I would take two days of PTO. My dumbass was trying to take as little time away from work as possible because I'm one of the most productive employees at work and wanted to please the higher ups in the HOPES that I'll get a raise or a promotion this year. Nope. Was told that it's a problem that I would ask for consecutive days of WFH. Two days, really? Sorry my family members' timing was inconvenient to you. I'm so angry, but it's been so drilled into my head that I need to shut up, not complain, and just do my work. This is bullshit. I'm tired of jobs treating me like garbage, so now I'm planning my exit. Family is more important than any job.
