When they call in sick to work because their, get this, guinea pig died. You are married with kids and a guinea pig makes you call out? Seriously?

Going to pull an Ozzy and Bite their heads off?
Funny, my dates in high school always used that excuse too.
She will probably leave your note in the dirty bowl with the soap next to it.
This morning my bowl is clean & in the dish drainer, the soap next to the sink; no note. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket today.
Regards, GF.
I'm a federal employee and we have a program that allows one person to transfer annual leave (vacation) to another to use as sick leave if they don't have enough to cover surgery, pregnancy, etc... You can't donate sick for sick. Seems like a LOT of request for donations get submitted mid-summer and this time of year, the Holiday Season. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up I have been getting several emails a day, EVERYDAY, from this program with a list of people who are asking for donated time.
Bad stuff happens, people get sick. It just timing of these requests that is obvious.
We used to have a similar policy - which I don't have a problem with. If I'm sitting on 2 months of vacation (which has happened), and someone has a major crisis, I could see donating some time to them.... assuming its someone that I know would have my back in a similar situation. Our policy stated you could only 'gift' someone extra time once a year, and there was a limit on how much time they could be given.I'm a federal employee and we have a program that allows one person to transfer annual leave (vacation) to another to use as sick leave if they don't have enough to cover surgery, pregnancy, etc...

We have something similar called the "catastrophic leave bank". Requests are qualified by HR & then sent out to all employees. You can find out the particulars of the need, but not the person (I think). I've donated to a new employee who's small son drowned and someone with cancer. I don't think the recipient knows where donations come from either.

They are not being ironic? "Living the dream" is a common phrase where I worked (I just retired). It's sometimes good for a laugh because everyone knows what you really mean is "I hate this f***ing job".
The guy who takes hour and a half to two and a half hour lunches where the rest of us take 45 minute ones. Then leaves as if he only took a 45 himself. Today it was an hour 20 and I was shocked that he cut it short. And the bosses are aware and no one does anything about it. I hate having a good work ethic.

Oh you mean one of our Managing Directors? Lol only difference is he comes in at 10 and leaves at 4
I tend to put in a 70 hour work week before I take two consecutive days off. Otherwise I work 6, sometimes 7, days a week. The exception being family functions and special events or vacation. This thread makes me laugh.
This guy is no one special. We work in an help desk on shift work. Him not being around makes more work for the rest of us. He used to be a good worker.

Sounds like you run your own business...at least you're your own boss
Your story makes me cry.

I used to have a job like that but was not my own boss nor was I paid time & a half for over time. My employer talked about profit sharing but nothing ever came of it. I found something better after a couple of years.
I'm stuck at work with a coworker who's been here since midnight monday-tuesday. I can at least say she's one of the more pleasant ones to be stuck with. Had it been one of the others, I woulda turned around and went home yesterday on the drive in.
It's funny how the person who lives closest can't make it in (I drove past her place on my way in yesterday).:what:
Oh yeah, we've got a lot of that going on right now. Claiming to be snowed in and living in the area that got a dusting. Lady says, "I can't make it in, the snow is craaaaazy. I'll just work from home today and tomorrow."
Work from home. She doesn't even work from work.
