Can't we all just admit that we're all stupid in our own right and move on with our lives?

I applied toothpaste to the bottom of my toothbrush this morning. True story!

Yeah that's the shitty part for working for large corporations, no matter how legitimate the reasoning for the absence, attendance tends to be a pretty BFD and it makes it impossible to get the time off when you really need it. Anyhow, legally you can take time off to care for a family member, if she guilt tripped you I would try to speak with the person directly and keep a record of the conversation or email...theeen if they pull that shit again, take the record and go straight to HR - that is an advantage of big companies, the HR department isn't necessaarily close with management and in my experiences have been more impartial than at smaller companies.

gl!

I'm sorry to say this, but either you want a company that puts money a priority or you want a company that doesn't. This is the nature of things.

But if you're not willing to move on to a better position with someone else while you know these practices that you dislike are policy, you really have nothing to complain about.

It's lame that they don't wanna give you leniency for being a single parent. But your options are either get a better job or grin and bear it.

i still dont get why single parents should get any different rights then those without kids. while the delivery sounded like shit, i get what the boss was saying. my job doesnt offer concessions for kids, dont think many places do.

When people let me down at work, the excuse doesn't change the fact that they let me down. We all have appointments and people that are important to us outside of the work environment, but I don't assume anyone wants to hear about them. Book your vacation and take emergency days off if it's important, or quit. If your work is denying you legitimate sick leave, complain to BC Labour, and then quit. Beyond that, who cares what they think?

Trying to blame having unreliable hours on your work is unreasonable, take responsibility for yourself. If you're upfront and honest about your potential schedule with your employer then no one is surprised and the situation goes away. Playing the parent card is just being manipulative, which unfortunately is quite effective.

^?huh?

???I am given sick days...which have all been sucked up for the year long ago which I have taken hits in the pocket for any day that ive missed which extend outside of the alloted number of sick days per annum. Whatever work I have missed I have more then made up for. I have never fallen behind enough for her to be worried. I am more then capable and have proven that on numerous occasions.

Im not asking for special privledges...but when I work my fucking ass off 5 days a week sometimes 6 and you're well aware of my capabilities and you appreciate them, DAMN RIGHTS IM GOING TO EXPECT SOME LEEWAY WHEN MY KID IS BARFING!!!! Daycares do not take sick children, my family works, her dad works, my friends ...ALSO WORK!So single parent or not, I am still a parent. Like other parents I am going to face these challenges when I have a child that is too sick to go to daycare.She also knew upon hiring me that i was a parent, and knew what to expect...so yeah.

So, you admittedly have used up all your sick days and want more days off for compassionate leave, but yet you claim to not be asking for special privileges?

that's a crazy sentence, cuz avana is not nearly the 'twat' that you are and she's better looking too.

poor kid though, can't be easy alone...you should do high school tours

Let's all just take a minute to remember when we were kids and our moms had to book off work to take care of us when we were sick.

When I was 9, both my brother and I had chicken pox and my mom had to take 12 days off work - no one said boo.

I totally sympathize. While there is work that needs to be done, your boss also has to understand that you have a child. I think she was just being an unreasonable bitch when she denied your request to work from home on such occassions. If the bottom line is that your work gets done, then this shouldn't be a problem. I don't have a kid and I've worked from home lots of times when I was too sick to be around the public.

not speaking ill against your mom. but when i had chicken pox, my mom had someone else who wasnt working take me to the doctor, and i stayed home by myself that week. she wanted to ensure that she always had a job to be able to take care of me. if i was too sick for daycare, then someone else took me in for the day.

if my mom can do it without claiming ill child at home, in a time where it was less accepted to, then why cant you now?

ps - i had surgery last summer. my mom took a total of 3 hours off that week to pick me up and drive me home from the hospital. and she was still pushing that i take a cab.
