Went on a work trip with 2 other people. We talked about the agenda. We did not talk about time for returning the next day. I assumed (first mistake) that we would drive the 2 hours back. My colleague says well. “There are no appointments on my calendar so we don’t have to be back till 2 pm.” Totally rubbed me the wrong way. Why would my appointments be on his calendar?

In their words “put personal obligations above receiving adequate rest” keep in mind I was working 12 hours swing shifts (nights-days-nights-days) I’ve always believed in having a life outside of work. I’m in my late 20s and I don’t party or hardly ever drink. I work and go to the gym. For a company to blame this on me is beyond me. What happened to me was very out of character and I truly believe it was from the medication. I was ultimately blamed for having a life outside of work which is…
This is how the US workers have lost everything and no end to it. https://preview.redd.it/momoeimp4a7a1.png?width=593&format=png&auto=webp&s=32f946bea8ae007d70891f8518ad69bfbb343016
