Will keep it short as possible… Had a family emergency that had me call out of work for a total of 2 days. Had to get a hotel. Sent my senior manager a text, telling her ” Hey, sorry, family emergency, will be out for the next couple of days. “…. Her response? ” I understand that you may be going through a hard time, but please make sure that you make today's online meeting and keep me informed. ” … I was dealing with a real emergency!, She told me it was ” unacceptable” if I didn't maintain contact with her before returning to work….
I saw that text and was disgusted. Family comes first….Even over money and especially a company.. Just… Wow. And no follow up from her after we dealt with our medical emergency. Once I got back to work, no questions about what happened, just ” ok so here's what we need to do tonight ( was on a night shift ) F*ck these people!
