A cold-hearted manager

One of my coworkers (L) called in this week because her dad is in the hospital. He had a heart attack. My coworker called to let the managers know that she like to take some time off. The manager took the call at the nurses station while a bunch of us were around and proceeds to yell at L on the phone. She told L that her request NEEDS to be preapproved and blah blah. It was really unprofessional of the manager to yell like that and make a scene. I walked away but could still hear L being ripped a new one :(

FYI: Remind all family/pets/friends that their emergencies are to only OCCUR after preapproval. Gotcha :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    ;( what a horrible response to a very difficult situation for an employee

    Perhaps "L" should tell manager to go to place that rhymes with "L". Seriously, surely the manager would be out of there without preapproval if her/his family member was in the same situation.

    *still shaking my head*

    I get that there are staffing needs but was it necessary to go off on her like that? She is a scary woman.

    It probably won't be the last time she does it either!

    I am scared to file because I fear for my job. Hopefully one of the old-timers there will file. Yeah, I am a chicken.

    I'm assuming L doesn't chronically have family emergencies. It never ceases to amaze me that hospitals never understand that employees and their families have medical emergencies and illnesses too. I'm trying really hard to not wish some payback for your manager.

    That's ok.

    Very sad. I mean sometimes you have to put family first, but realistically how many people can jeapordize their job? Makes it even more stressfull.:down::down:

    The person who was being yelled out should file, as well. And you should talk to HR about a hostile workplace environment. This is normally anonymous. Your workplace may have a 'hotline' for reporting this.

    Best wishes!

    L is a good worker and does not have a history of sick calls/work drama.
