I was born with severe chronic eczema and after many absences I've been issued an invite to an abscence meeting which will incur in a final warning.
Feeling as though I've been treated unfair leading up to this I discussed this with my manager, I complained about general things like his attitude towards me over the phone, e.g audible sighs and at one point saying to me “You have 3.5 hrs before your shifts is there really nothing u can do?” which considering I have an incurable illness I saw this as insensative.
However my manager argued that He was not personally aware that he had been sighing and as for the quote he said he probably meant have I tried getting cover for my shift before calling in and that saying that was him trying to support me.
I also complained that i was told i could come in late for shifts if it was for doctors calls or pharmacy visits, but both the informal displinarys I've received for being late were on days I had been to the doctors or pharmacy before
My manager argued that I hadn't made the effort to inform him of that and either way there was other lates that would have contributed.
All in all he argued I should have said all these things when they orgianlly happened and now he doesn't know how to support me anymore as I'm not being communicative enough.
I went into that meeting prepared to say my peace and left feeling stupid.
word of advice DO NOT confront ur manager just rant to a friend or something.
