Called in sick. Was harrassed 3 hours later.

Damn you people are a sickly bunch. Eat your vegetables.

 

[I have been lurking]

Pay them back with the Cheyna self quarantine. Get a doc's note with symptoms and an order. Enjoy 2 weeks paid.

 

[Misthios]

I swear we work at the same building

I wish my preloaded would call in. Anybody has to be better than him. Hell bring the porter over and give him a shot.

 

[WTFm8]

Get a call at 5am from a full time sup telling me "I didn't sound sick" and I needed to come in...

Should have said “you don’t sound like a doctor” and hung up.

 

[UnionGuy]

They're getting mad at the call offs. 62 people called off on friday at my hub. 46 on monday

 

[MECH-lift]

will everyone please stop calling off , unless it’s a true dr. appt...save those sick days for surgery

 

[specter208]

I would think it’s best to not test your managers by abusing call offs.

 

[clean hairy]

Who answers the phone after calling out

It might be a wild guess, but possibly the OP?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

will everyone please stop calling off , unless it’s a true dr. appt...save those sick days for surgery

...or golf...

 

[Indecisi0n]

how about this
Don’t answer the phone

but it was ringing.

 

[Misthios]

...or golf...

I like your style

 

[MenInBrown]

Or answer the phone and next time lay into that manager with everything you've ever wanted to say to a person.

Call me on my personal phone on my personal time and think you can talk to me like you're my boss. I know one thing he'll hang up on me before I will him.

Done this plenty of times.

It's why I turn 5 sick days into the extra week of vacation every year. Eliminates all the hassle of taking time off. I've always found it interesting that the company gives you sick days only to be harassed when you use them.

OP, just remember to show up to work when you come down with Covid 19 and pay this sup a visit.

 

[bbsam]

Working preload. We start at 4am. Decided to call off and got in touch with the office and a part time sup at 2:18 am after trying after 1/2 an hour trying to reach them. Told them I needed to use a sick day. boom. Went back to sleep.

Get a call at 5am from a full time sup telling me "I didn't sound sick" and I needed to come in or I would be suspended and that they didnt get the call for a sick day.

My sole response was "just make sure I get paid for my sick day, I told supX at 218am that I was going to be sick" then I hanged up.

Im worried now.

I really need management to stop harassing me. Would it be a waste of time going EEOC after my grievance? What steps should I take to best defend myself?

You big baby. Take the silly suspension and get to bed earlier next time.

 

[SameRightsForAll]

Hopefully you learned your lesson next time you call off don't answer the phone

You guys say Call Off like you're calling off a ball game or something but the ball game is still happening. It's known as calling in, guys. In.

I'm calling off because I'm not coming in, is that better?

We called it banging in.

 

[trickpony1]

We called it banging in.

That bears too much resemblance to violent sex.

Inappropriate;
Not politically correct;
Can't use it.

 

[SameRightsForAll]

Oh yes they do. We had 19 call ins the other day on preload.

Maybe one day somebody with a soul will look back and make note of how the company treated its workers during the pandemic. They're not even paying for all the days you might be quarantined or in the hospital with the disease. It's something like 10 business days yet the virus can shut you down for 2-6 weeks. Amazing, isn't it?

You want 6 weeks of pay for basically sitting at home?? There is a word for that-----unemployment. 10 day paid leave is more than adequate.
