Friend of mine is an MA at a women's health practice. This place is already short-staffed, frequently sending people home to avoid OT before work is accomplished.
A newer MA there is only 20 years old, has been there for several months. Likes the place, but it's not a career for her. Guess she has a three week class for something with beauty school coming up. Unfortunately she can't work during this time due to the schedule, but wanted to come back after the three weeks.
Welp, management said they can't accommodate that, attempting to call her bluff. She just put in her notice instead. Now they have to replace her instead of just being crunched for a few weeks.
