[QUOTE="Unloader, post: 3148920, member: 69003"] So my girlfriend was due to give birth. I told my supervisor the week before I plan on taking the week off just in case anything happened I would be around. He tells me everything will be okay. So I figure, cool. I don't need to come in or check in EVERY DAY to let him know I'm NOT coming in as we spoke about. So my girlfriend gives birth on a Thursday. I come back in Monday. I get screamed at threatened, get told I'll be fired. I respond with "Cool, get my Shop Stewart. In the mean time, I'll go unload a truck" He comes back with his boss claiming I threatened him. Again, I responded with "Cool, get my Shop Stewart" The said, "Never mind. Ill get him myself" I explained the situation about asking for the time off, my supervisor told them I never told him, I no call - no showed for a week straight and deserve to be fired. Now I've been working there for close to 6 years. I responded with "Fired? You mean get unemployment for a bit while I get to relax my body after doing this grueling job for six years. Yes, please fire me 4 days after I had my first child so I can spend more time at home. No problem" Sadly, they told me get my ass back to work. I was SOOO close to the promised land. Does anyone else have any stories like this? [/QUOTE]
