Twistedrx7 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I just get done working at 11pm last night. I stay up a little bit and than head to bed. I have someone coming by to take a look at my apartment the next day to let me know what if anything they can do about it. So i get a call at 8am saying that someone on first shift called off and I need to come in at 11am. So i call and cancel my plans for the apartment until wednesday, which frustrates me because ive been waiting since Friday to get this stuff taken care of. I get to work and find out that he really isnt sick...and just called off for today.. Now im here from 11am till 11pm. So in closing, DO NOT CALL OFF if you arent really sick. It pisses people off. /Rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHaze Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 So does your workplace require you to fill in for people who call off? I'd be more upset at your employer then the person who called off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Why do you have to come in, if someone calls off? If I am off...the whole floor could call off...I am not required to come back until my next scheduled time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedrx7 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yes we all have a day or two during the week, so that if someone calls off that shift is still covered. The person from 3rd shift had to work his shift; 2300-700 along with 700-1100. We split the 8 hours between two people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 we have 3 spots we rotate around at during the day. Our Truck gate, Access Gate, and our Control Center. They only have 3 people on that shift, so if one person is gone that spot needs to be maned. If they had 4 people i dont think anyone would of been called in.

Mr. Jones Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I can't stand this either. I work with a bunch of people that feel because they "have" the time they need to use it regardless. Back when our PTO Policy changed I lost 28 days of sick time to the policy change because I never used it. Still havn't used any this year and will probably lose all of it at years end as well. Calling off = the gayest of the gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Calling off becuase of alcohol consumption = gayer than ever super gay I like to think of it as I am calling off "because I am over the legal limit to drive" But I rarely do this.

evan9381 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 i dont call off because doing collections, if im not there getting money, i dont make bonus. but my new job gives us 152 hours of PTO a year off the bat, and will only pay out 40 at the end of the year...that means i gotta burn up 14 days throughout the year. ive got a week long vacation at the end of july, and took off today and tomorrow because i was supposed to be in PA...7 more days to go.

You typed a response, therefore, it had to warrant some sort of response. It had to at least trip the meter a little. I mean, I'm just using logic here.
