How is yours? Does your family come first or your job?
The reason why I ask is because my boss thinks work should always come first. ALWAYS!!! My uncle is dieing and I wanted to go see him, oh but accourding to my boss my job should come first.
One of my co-workers had to have test done to test for cancer and needed a day off and she would not let her and said she should think about the company first. She was told the company should come first before herself or her family.
Honestly, I'd start to look for another job that has pd vacation and sick time. I'm sure that you can find another cleaning job that will treat you better. Good luck.

a small cleaning company
Quoting LML1:Oh jeez where do you work?
Quoting hayliedlr:another thing that sucks is there is no paid vaca or sick days. One of my co-workers was sick for like over 2 weeks and she couldn't get time off.
Quoting LML1:
Say WHAT? If you have sick or vacation time, your company can NOT tell you how to spend it. Yep, that is a definite 'you can jump up my ass' moment. Oh and ask your boss where in your employee handbook does it state that you need to dedicate your life to this company?
just came back from an interview at Best western Plus. He said he will be calling tomorrow. sounds promising. I did get the job at Mickey d's

It depends. Notice should be given but if you need a job it should be a priority. I would only take off for immediate family mom brother or husband or child dying. The way I see it your job is how you support your family so it should be as important as your family. You cant see your uncle arond your work schedule?
yeah needing a job should be priority but when it comes to unexpected situations, you should be able to take a day off. My uncle is like my dad, he took his place after my dad passed away.
My co-worker had to take a day off during work hours bc her doc appt was 3 hrs away. and she works mon-fri, her doc is not open on weekends.
And this job the way she treats her employers will never be family. She treats us like dog turds. Belittles us in front of others, yells at us, calls us all liars. I started going to school and she made it a big deal that I will never amount to anything, it's a waste of time etc... after talking about how she wants her employees to go to school. What a load of crap. No "family" should treat you like that.
the job pays nothing and use most of it in gas so there is no saving up at all.
I have 2 job interviews coming up and I am leaving first chance I get.
I've been looking for about 6 mths now. people are just now calling me in. I am thinking of reporting her to BBB or whomever it may be.
Quoting Ilaynasmommy:
Why havent you found another job before now if its that bad? Why not report the boss? Where do you work?
