Hey all, I need to rant about an experience I had today with my new manager. If you would like to skip ahead, my question(s) for discussion is - has anyone ever had a manager that has made you feel like your condition wasn't important and that your health wasn't important? What did you do? Is there advice for me that you have if you've experienced something similar? As backstory, I called out of work for today yesterday due to me being sick. Yesterday I had been unable to walk at all due to how weak I felt and I had to lean a lot literally on my partner for support. So I called out for today because I knew that I would not do well and I feel like utter crap, hoping today could be a day of recovery. This morning I get a call from my manager stating that they understood that I called out due to being ill, but that they really needed to have someone come in and cover because crap was hitting the fan at work and that "it would be great if you could still come in." Think of the movie "Office Space." When I explained to them the state that I was in and it would be really difficult for me to do anything, the manager stated that "Well we really need you and nobody else is able to" then started to list off other coworkers situations that are preventing them from working, as if to guilt trip me into coming in because other people have it "worse." At the end of the day I told them how they made me feel as a worker and how I felt like my condition/health/happiness was put aside just for the benefit of the company. I have never had an experience like this where I felt so dismissed about my health and happiness. (That conversation went nowhere).
