Call-In question

I have seen this happen more than once. Someone will call out for what ever reason, and if they can't find a replacement, they will call that person at home an 'encourage" them to come to work. I think it is awful. We all know there are employees that take advantage of calling out, but if you are sick you are sick.

This is the same as being reminded when you call in that your co workers will probably have to work short.....it's called a guilt trip. Don't let themget to you!

I once called in after an extraction, but ended up going in, because there was "no one else". It was a terrible shift, I ended up with a dry socket (had it packed without relieve), and subsequently was out for three days. Sure, the original call in got covered, but it resulted in three additional shifts needing coverage.

Don't answer your phone--remember that for next time.

caller id and call screening. after they've left the message begging me to come in, i think about it for a minute. then i decide against it. your milage may vary, but in general, don't get guilted into it.
