Supervisor told me to put off mandatory medical procedure

Recently I’ve been having medical problems that required me to go to the ER twice. I’ve just moved cross country and finally received care from a specialist. My doctor wants to perform a biopsy, so I’ll need to take Tuesday and Wednesday off (found this out today). I start at my job that I just transferred to on Monday.

Recently I’ve been having medical problems that required me to go to the ER twice. I’ve just moved cross country and finally received care from a specialist. My doctor wants to perform a biopsy, so I’ll need to take Tuesday and Wednesday off (found this out today). I start at my job that I just transferred to on Monday.

I called my manager and she absolutely laid into me. Before I really got to speak, she said “one thing you need to know about me is that I’m super anal with the scheduling and I don’t let people walk all over me.” I then said okay, I have an important procedure that my doctor scheduled me for that NEEDS to be done. I reiterated this 3 times. She said that she sent the schedule to me a “long time ago” aka one week ago today, and that I shouldn’t be pulling this. I said, okay great, I just went to the doctor today – I just moved here. She made a big deal about how we have an audit coming up and that I should just put it off until it’s over. I said no, let’s try to work this out – I’ll come over tomorrow to talk. After that she said I “really need to try to be flexible and work with us.” Then hung up.

I live in North Carolina so if there’s any labor laws you know of (federal/state) that would be helpful for tomorrow – send them my way!
