A much better view with much better company.

Are you saying that...your employees only work during work hours? That's shocking behavior. You should definitely fire them on the spot. /s

If the business can't run without you...it's time for a raise.

This is a situation I would call corporate HR

Get out of jail free card!

I am amazed that she was married twice in the first place. What an awful person to work for.

I allow you to see your family once a week. I thought slavery was outlawed.

This is truly horrific. It would be really rare for this to happen in the UK (I don’t want to say it wouldn’t as there will be that one person that knew someone who couldn’t get the time off!) But blimey, that and the post before about the person’s sister, are awful. I had a day off when my dog died - for free - I just told them I’m not coming in on Monday as I had to travel home the night before to go back to bury him.

HIPPA laws be damned!

It's amazing how these bosses are always complaining about short staffs, and still they don't hire more employees.

Liquid A*s.

It breaks my heart (and makes me angry at the same time) when the death of a family pet is being trivialized like this.

There should be a term for discrimination against android users, like androiphobic or smthn

JFC

we have a work group chat. if no one can cover, it is what it is. its only one day, people have sht to do and our bosses understand.

That's in the Netherlands, I recognise those fire trucks

This one should be illegal. High fever can be even fatal...

That apostrophe is making me angry

Well this is an interesting twist. Haven't heard the "employees dead mother" excuse before. Obviously the guys a genius. And sociopath.

No such thing as days off then proceeds to say they are on their day off

Stuff it, report them to the health department.

I used to work for a company that did 36 hours a week but paid for 40 hours with perfect attendance if we were even a minute passed 7 we lost the extra 4 hours pay and got a point

Well that pretty much sums it up. Can't think of anything to add. Kudos!

Ok bye ✋

A middle finger emoji would save a lot of time

You're passing up 2 free meals? Ingrate.

I find this baffling. In Australia, generally, if you call in sick then the manager/boss finds cover. It's not the employee's job to do so.

They will.

Okay this has to be illegal… right?

This job is almost certainly a con.

I've had my gall bladder out, hospital said 5 days rest. Hysterectomy, 6 weeks. I wonder what was removed? ALso, you are not covered by insurance, either driving or at work if you act against Doctors direction. If they say you are unfit for work and you get hurt at work when you should not be there, first thing work insurance will do is claim you are responsible as an adult to not attend when you have been advised you are unfit by a doctor. Same with driving . Don't do it, they will throw you under the bus and wipe their a*s clean with your remains.

This is what my dad did which made the family a bit more richer but because of that he became extremely unhealthy and became a shadow of his former self. Now at least he’s doing much better because he has work life balance

Only 2 days off for flu?? That’s ridiculous!

After the 11th time I hit ignore, they should get it

Yeah, unlikely. there are laws in place in the UK to prevent such behaviour. Take it to ane ployment tribunal, and watch the employer squirm.

Sure, because everyone is over the death of a parent in under 24 hours, what a c**k for asking.

I mean working all the time can pay off sometimes, but you shouldn’t be forced to. It’s a commitment that should be your choice to make.

That's not a daycare and you aren't a taxi!

How about I'm off until further notice.

Willing to bet HE doesn't work those hours

Yeah, dude. And so is your father. If you have experience as a head chef, you can find more work. And then go NC with your AH of a father. But frankly, you knew who he was. You should have dealt with that before the situation arose.

F*** Off

Gotta love restaurant work.

I hope they saved these screenshots in a few places for when that "manager" starts acting like this to them on the clock. HR doesn't "help" employees, but they will bend over backwards if they think the company may be in for a lawsuit.

Perfect time to ask for a raise.

No

My old boss used to do our one on ones during her microdermabrasion appointments. I didn’t care - I got her undivided attention and more of her time because I rolled with things like this. She was great - a decade later, I still coach others with the things she taught me.

And? Is it worth it? Time to go.

OK, 6am Monday it is.
