should i be as mad as i am. i've worked here almost 3 yrs...

on thursday my 1 year old had a seizure enduced by her fever do to a ear infection. i called my work and told them that day i might not be in on friday. they said ok. i stayed at the hospital and she was discharged that night. she still had a fever of 102.7 that night so i sat up with her and set her another appointment for friday. at this time i also thought i would try to go to work for 4 hours after her appointment to help out and make sure my check wasn't 12 hours short. well i made those plans. but around 2 oclock on friday my wife comes to me crying and asks if i am going to work and i said yes. she then stated to me that she wished i wouldn't go i then call work to figure out how much time i have to see if i can take off for the whole 12 hours. i was told yes and but i still had to get it approved, i said ok.hung up and began dealing with the baby for a few minutes. i then get a phone call from my work, the lady who does the schedule is calling and snapping at me about the other lady approving my time off.< which she does the scheduling and the other woman i spoke to works in payroll> i said i didn't say that and neither did shei tried to explain to her i called to see if i had available time and she yells and says i could have done that. i said well i was told to call her by my captain in the first place... she hangs up...4 minutes later i am on speaker phone arguing with the same woman and the woman i called about how much time i had .screaming about me calling to find out my time.the woman that worked in payroll was not arguing she just wanted to see if i said she approved the day .which i never said and stated that numerous times throuout the conversation. the woman who does the schedule said i'm messing up her plan,because she already scheduled me for the 4 hours. and i said well things changed, and i needed to be there for my wife and kids. i called four hours before i was supposed to go in and it was because i was trying to help not because i had to, because it was not even my shift. i did not appreciate being yelled at as if i was calling out just because i wanted to, i was calling because in my eyes my family needed me. so should i talk to the warden about this or should i just bite the bullet and let it ride. i am so furious right now i don't know what to think. i just feel like it was no big deal to them because it was my family, how would it have been if it was theres. i'm getting angry just thinking about it, good thing they are not at worl today or i might have got in trouble when i came in. because i'm sure i would have said something.

Joseph, I think you so not let it go - if it would not present greater
problems later. To avoid, further problems in the future, I feel you should
straighten it out now.

Second, you situation is typical in many company today. I am sure that
many people on this forum experience similar situations.

It is because of situations like these I have decided to do something about
it. I am on my way to work now, but on Monday 8/31/2009 I will tell you
what I am doing and hopefully it will benefit you and this forum.

sounds like you work in a prision . i have worked in corrections for some time before i went to the coal mine and to them no your family is nothing to them . in there eyes they own you and if you reed your hand book it says that if you volinteere for work it becomes your schedule for that time frame. i know it is bull but thats the way it is . when i worked in the jail i got sick from mold in the air system a microbe had got in my lung and i didn't know it and it got infected i did not catch this for almost 3 months before i almost died at work i might ad . to make a long story short the infection was so bad it turned into septasimia not sure if thats spelled rite but anyway i had to take time off work i was off for 3 months and it was every day they was calling asking when i would be back and i would tell them didnt know that i had more dr apointments and had to be released to work well i lost my job one third of my lung lost 10 % of my kidnee function and now have heart trouble on top of that im diabetic and they thought that they could pay me till i found a nother job but that only lasted for one month befor they stoped paying me . i lost my spot on the dept of homeland security s.w.a.t team and my side job of a police officer because of the heart and lungs so it can be brutial but three years you do have the family medical leave act that it would fall under so yea i would be pissed
