SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW

Need to vent....

Ok so my FIL is in Cardiac Intensive Care. He is awaiting a heart transplant as the heart attack he suffered on Wednesday did such severe damage that he will not survive without a new heart. He was transported to New England Medical Center yesterday, which is in Boston, 70 miles from our home in Rhode Island.

SOOOOOOOO I go to Human Resources today & I say 'listen - here's the deal.' I explain that MIL picks our baby up from daycare every day but under the circumstances that she cannot. She will be here in Boston with her husband obviously.

So I say “I will skip lunch every day if I can leave an hour early so I can pick up my daughter from daycare.” (Daycare closes at 5:30 and I work in Boston, an hour & a half from home)

SHE SAID NO. She gave me some BS that if they let me leave early that EVERYONE will want to leave early.

IS SHE F*CKING KIDDING ME?????

Wow, that is crazy!!! I can't believe they would be so insensitive.

That's awful!! Is there anyone else that you can talk to like your supervisor? I may just go straight to the head of the company too. Someone has to have a little bit of compassion.

omg she sounds like the most cold hearted person ever!! I would speak to your supervisor! Thats such BS im so sorry youre going through this

WOW
sooo sorry!

what are you going to do now?!

that's not right at all....

My boss is the President & CEO but he's on vacation this week. Otherwise I would have gone straight to him. My plan is to get ny a$$ on that 3:45 train every day whether she likes it or not,

I don't know if you guys remember, but this is the same HR woman who forced me to come to work & sit next to someone with shingles when I was 9 months pregnant. B!tch.

ita!

You & Family will be in my Prayers. Wow, you think some people would be emapthic.?.?.?

I hope everything works out for you.

What? How? If the person was contagious, he or she shouldn't have been at work at all, and you could have sued them for endangering your health and the health of your child. That's just bad business, HR people are supposed to know this stuff.

You might need to get another job if this sort of thing keeps coming up. This is ridiculous.

WHAT?!? Like you asked for that heartache? You are right. Everyone wishes they were in your situation and therefore needed to leave an hour early.
How selfless do they think people really are!

I am sorry that happened to you.

Thats BS
Is she made of stone??? Dont they have to allow you to pick her up? I thought there was a law of some kind, Im sure I am thinking of a different one
