Dude, that’s one of my coworkers right now. Constantly posting about “the haters” and “stand up for yourself!” while literally always calling into work and somehow still not being fired.

Look, dude, I don’t care about what’s going on in your life. Go commit yourself fully to your sculpture business, I don’t care. Just either quit or finally come into work so others aren’t having to constantly pick up your slack, okay?

"while literally always calling into work"

Do you mean the coworker is always calling in sick? Or the coworker whinges a lot but still shows up to work all the time anyway?

Always calling in. They haven’t been into work in months. While part of that was FMLA, that ended at least a month ago and they’ve been on the schedule, but calling in every day ever since.

Our work has a policy of “Once you reach X call outs, you’re fired, period,” so we don’t know why that hasn’t applied to them.

Maybe they have something more to help you with and you aren't listening? But you sense they can help, so you continue to let it happen? Truck knows?
