At 1 point I had 120 (max) sick days built up so I didn't accumulate any more because I was at the max. I would fire your lazy sick ass & not lose a minute of sleep over it! |

But that fucker didn't tell me until I finished my shift. I got enough savings to last me out 2 years easy but I should get another job by the end of the month but might have to relocate. Free at last... |

Now your are free to dig into your savings without any sort of positive income, in a bad job market, with a nice black mark on your work history. Guess what. That sh*t follows you! You filled out your tax paperwork right? Guess what, most jobs do background checks, and will call your prior employer. What do you think your old boss will say about your work ethic? Do you think he'll give you stellar marks for saying it's so unfair you can't call in after drinking and wanting to spend time with your Girlfriend? When your savings run out what will you do? |

My savings would last Mr two years at 60K a year. But I will have a new job in a few weeks because I have many industry contacts who have wanted me to join them. Gonna put in a few calls, then go on vacation for two weeks. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23761243 Just a little hung over and I kinda wanna spend sometime with my GF today. Your boss should fire you and hire an illegal immigrant. He did this morning. Feels good. |

If I were you though, I would be a little more cautious about what positions you take, and how you leave them. It's never wise to burn a bridge. |

Stoned Goddess User ID: 58808552 Canada 07/08/2014 02:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was scheduled to work this morning, but left a message on my boss's voicemail explaining that I am not feeling well and will not be into work. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56915184 I just got a call back telling me that if I do not show up I will receive a write-up, due to the fact that I've already called out several times over the past 3 months. My question is, how can they do this legally? If you are sick you do not have to go to work, and how are they going to prove that you are not actually sick? Is my boss just bluffing? Stop missing days then! Just because you have the ability to call in sick, doesn't make it a god given right. Why should they reward you, or even keep you if you are unreliable. You choose not to go into work... now reap the consequences. Why don't you get a job working for the gov't if you want to call in sick once a week and get away with it. :smokin1: |

The more you call in, the more you risk them figuring out that they really don't need you as much as they thought when they hired you to begin with. |

KIT User ID: 48908174 United States 07/18/2014 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No doctors note because I was not really sick, just had other things I wanted to do and I get full pay either way.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56915184 Perhaps you would like to explain to us why your boss should keep you on. Because he needs me. I am not bothered if he fires me, I would walk straight into another job because I have many contacts in my industry. But I don't need the hassle right now, I have enough to deal with at home. My GF has hyperthyroidism. I hope you get shot in the head with a nail gun. Just sayin. |
