Not to mention that she could have sent her daughter in an ambulance and then called in to say she was on her way to the hospital and wouldn't be in that day.

Shit, who doesn't have a basic cell phone these days? She could have called before leaving home, on the way there, or when she got to the hospital, because we ALL know once in the emergency room, there was a significant time of her sitting, waiting and doing nothing since it isn't HER who is pregnant.

Look, you have stated enough times you worked in retail for so many years.

I never stated I worked in retail for years. You must have me confused with someone else. I worked in call centers for years. Then I switched to home health aid.

Yea, the schedule is posted and if it isn't, then it IS on YOU to ask to see it.

Kinda hard to do if the boss is gone and his office is locked. He didn't give his personal number out to employees. This actually happened at one retail job I had years ago. I used it as an example of bosses not always being perfect the way everyone seems to think they are.

You really do cry the blues a little too much. It seems you really don't have a great deal of understanding for how the world works or about personal responsibility.

I understand the way the world works. The customer is always right, the boss is always right, and the employee is almost always blamed. That doesn't mean that's the way the world should work. People cry the blues on these forums every day about all kinds of issues.

Not the same job. This actually took place at a grocery store I worked at years ago (my first job). The boss wasn't always there during the hours I worked. Also, I wasn't always the only employee this happened to. I only mentioned because I'm trying to make a point that the boss is not always right.

And how would the employee know when the boss was or wasn't there if they weren't scheduled that day? I suppose you think every employee not scheduled should have called the store every hour until they found out what the schedule was. Seriously, if a boss changes the schedule and doesn't post it, that boss can't expect the employees to know when they're supposed to be at work. The boss is not always right.

Well, let's see, you complained because your job couldn't be held open while you recovered from surgery. As a home health aid, someone has to care for your patients in your absence

Of course. That's what on call workers are for and the company has plenty.


, and from what you have said, you could never really give them a date of return because:

The pathologists, lab, doctors all messed up your tests (although even by your own explanations, everyone told you it was more that you didn't understand what they were saying) and so you needed more than one surgery.

The rushed report during surgery said the cancer was invasive. The second report that was supposed to be more thorough and accurate since it wasn't rushed said it was precancerous (in SITU). What part of conflicting reports don't you understand? My gynecologist went by the second report like any doctor would've done because the second reports are usually the accurate reports.

You completely disregard the reality that it was YOUR PERSONAL ISSUE that you didn't want to see the appropriate doctor and therefore took a (poorly) calculated risk by having the wrong doctor do the surgery and then complaining about the results.

Lots of people are afraid of oncologists. They don't only perform surgery. They also poison with chemo and radiation. Oh yeah, how could I forget your snark comment about chemo brain? Instead of googling it, you assumed it doesn't exist. I also read threads posted by women who had been through radiation treatment and could never have sex again because of the PERMANENT damage it caused. I was told a gynecologist was qualified to perform a hysterectomy for precancerous conditions.


Let's not forget you started complaining about this problem over a year ago and it was your own decision to not seek proper treatment at that time, instead choosing to come here and ask all of us what you should do, which we all said, go to the doctor.

I decided not to seek treatment?

Let's not forget the time you cleaned up a patient's fecal matter without gloves and found out said patient had something contagious. That time is was again your employer's fault because they didn't have any gloves on hand.

Most of the other posters thought management at fault for not making sure the gloves were stocked. I worked alone 3rd shift with clients who couldn't be left by themselves so I couldn't go buy gloves. If I had left the client sitting in a shitty diaper all night, I would've been guilty of abuse/neglect. Lack of gloves was not considered enough of an emergency to contact management in the middle of the night. They didn't find out the client had something contagious until several days later.

Everything that happens is ALWAYS someone else's fault to you.

Everything that happens is ALWAYS my fault to you.

Seriously DBG same shit different thread. You have a history of blaming everyone but yourself and this is just more of the same. How fucking hard is it to find a time when you're there and so is the boss so you can check with the boss? Surely in the space of a fucking MONTH there is a time when it's possible.

There was no month involved in that case.  As I stated before, this was a job I had years ago where a boss liked to change the schedule and leave it locked in his office instead of posting it. Several employees complained about it.  I brought it up as an additional example of bosses not being perfect.

Fuck my head hurts!

Understandable why you missed it then. Hope your headache goes away soon.

The post you quoted and responded to (post #72) was in reference to a job I had years ago. My cousin's wedding took place when I was at my most recent job with a fixed schedule. Yes, in that case I could have reminded the boss. But why do bosses need to be reminded? I thought the whole point of letting them know in advance is give them time to schedule around the absence. I guess the ability to write things down and stay organized isn't in their job description.
