Texted manager because my supervisor (custodian at a university) took vacation this week. She wouldn’t accept the note because it was too vague. So my wife had me call the er and they typed up a new one. She went and got it and by then my manager was telling me we would have a discussion on Friday. I like my job but hate this when people get mad over stuff that can’t be controlled. Makes me wanna quit.
