My boss will let me leave for the dentist and not even ask me to log or make up the time. Granted I work in an office and not a restaurant so I know there are some differences, but still... why people gotta be dicks about stuff that doesn’t matter?? Treat your employees right and you will GET IT BACK.

My wife was referred for a follow up mammogram, and I can tell you the waiting was scary as hell. (turned out benign).

So if your doctor called and said “We’re gonna do that tomorrow instead.” you think it would be reasonable to lose your job over that?

And if your Doctor called in and said, ‘Hey we got a heart surgery opening in two days’ you wouldn’t have jumped at it?

Having been there and done that with not such a good outcome (cancer-wise), this sickens me. I had no lump, but the weekend I waited (I know, only a weekend but I was one of the medical center’s attorneys and my mammo was very bad on both breasts) between my mammogram and the bilateral biopsies plus the 24 hours to…

The waiting sucks though, doesn’t it? How long did you have to wait for the diagnosis? What if you could have gotten it sooner? Should you be fired for that? Taking care of your health is an adult thing to do too. If your surgery could be moved up and you could cut out some of the wait, wouldn’t you want the option to…

I agree. However, I have to comment on the fact that this prolonged waiting period goes on all the time, which opens up a whole other discussion. Why does the medical profession take their sweet time and schedule appointments for this type of thing weeks away? Been there. Done that, and yes, you spend the whole time…

How many short-notice mammograms can a woman have?

In case you’re not aware, your employees hate you.

That’s the Republican party for you. They think that women are stupid enough to vote for any woman, not the right woman. This doesn’t surprise me at all though as they only view women as a clump of cells surrounding a vagina, so it’s difficult for them to distinguish the difference.

I think that anyone who is maybe not batshit insane but is still horrible has become the new moderate GOP.

Exactly right. The stress of wondering about the diagnosis can be so great that it doesn’t matter if the appointment was even a short time before her original appointment.

I think most people understand that employees skipping a shift, or even a part of a shift, can be very inconvenient and possibly warrant termination. I also think most of us can make exceptions for someone going to see if they have breast cancer after finding a growth.

Okay, as someone with a high breast cancer risk: fuck these people with the business end of a dirty grill brush.

I would argue that you don’t fuck the same prostitute for seven years unless she means something to you, thereby impacting your maritial relationship.

Some men seem to have a terrible time with the concept of keeping their dicks in their pants.

I’m sure the dead woman’s family feel their loss less because statistically, it was very unlikely that some psycho would shoot her

Oh she worked. I can assure you on that.

People ‘arguably’ have a reason o be insulted by you locking your car door?

It’s really a shame you had to go and say that other stuff before saying this.
