Call Out Question

[542thruNthru]

Is calling in the same as calling in sick?

I called in sick once (an HR before my shift as per the handbook) and still got a write-up. I now have 100+ sick hours and I'm afraid to use them.

Yet I see some call in or call in sick once a month and get away with it

Generally I think they play favorites. OP, They just hate you.

Are you generally on time and do decent work? Are you full of excuses about why you can't make it to work once or twice a month?

You were given a warning letter for one occurrence? I find that hard to believe.

From the way my sup talks, I generally do good work when I'm there.
I seem to have a pull that no one else wants and I just keep my head down and do it. Complain sometimes but I try not to be too negative b/c I realize everyone is stressed out.
When I do show up I'm always early.

Our center is having a hard time keeping people so I'm hoping that works in my favor.
I actually don't feel good about calling out, I want to be there and I hate to leave them hanging but I'm just in a really tough spot right now.
Since I've already got an occurrence from today I might make it a two-for-one tomorrow. I could really use the extra day but I don't want to push my luck. I'd actually be completely screwed if I lost this job. It would change my life.

Could you really use the paycheck, the benefits?!? Well !?!

Geez just go to work.

Documented talk. I tend to mind my business and stay out of that office. I'm not sure how common those are and what sort of progression that entails.

A warning letter did come 5 years back when I apparently loaded a stamp size salt that was on a package that got loaded into the uld.

I'm just trying to compare this to others. 5-6 others can call in sick once a month and they aren't going into the office.

Maybe I'm too well behaved. They tend to lump in multiple offenses into one doc talk.

It really breeds a terrible work culture for the ones behaving.

What is so important it might get you fired

 

[iruhnman630]

What company do you work for that lets you accumulat 100 'sick' hours?

2+2 is adding up to 5 with this one

We are allowed to accumulate ours

We can accumulate 60 days (480 hours) of sick time where I am.

If you work enough hours a year to get them....

 

[542thruNthru]

Nope. I get them as long as I have 1 year seniority.

So since I already did a Monday I can't make it any worse by taking tomorrow too since it's all one occurrence right?

Why are you calling off?

 

[PTPeanuts]

I can't tell if my sup hates me or not.
I just checked my time card and he marked this morning down as a "scheduled off" so I guess he is helping me out in that regard.
But I just asked him if I can have tomorrow morning off and all he ever says is "ok"
Like if he had said it was gonna be a problem I would dose up and have come in I really don't want to get fired. But the way he just says "ok" and no real answer seems kind of ominous

What answer would you like your supervisor to give?

He could have given you hell, but didn't.
Do you suppose he is happy that you are calling off work?

 

[Nolimitz]

just go to work
