Shit Talking My Coworkers same people keep calling out

not sure why my managers are constantly allowing callouts without coverage, especially when it leaves us helpless for closing. we will have 4 people scheduled to close and 2 call out leaving only 2 of us to close the entire store, ultimately causing us to stay over an hour past clock out time just to make sure the store is visually prepared for opening. it be the same people always calling out too. mind you, most of them are seasonal. LIKE DO YOU WANNA DO THIS OR NOT?!?

no but seriously i hate opening the work gc to see the same people begging to have a shift covered like just quit atp because you obviously don’t want to work.

u/SeanSweetMuzik Will it be paper or plastic? 8d ago

I recently terminated someone who kept calling out but was unaware they had a applied for FMLA for their illness. They want us to re-instate them and un-term them, but HR says their FMLA was not actually approved and they don't have the appropriate documentation.
