I always love the "we all need to make sacrifices for the good of the company" line

My mom told a place she needed a day off for a doctor's appointment. One that of rescheduled would be 6 months before there was another opening

She got told the job came first. She had to tell them if she didn't take care of her health she wouldn't be around much longer to be of any use to them and that it wasn't a request she was simply informing them.

I've worked there too and heard the supervisor tell everyone if you aren't dying you need to come into work.

And yeah they tried to guilt me several times. And often I'd do it but I'd usually tell them go around and ask everyone else then circle back to me. And cause some people wanted or needed the overtime.

They knew not to call me at home though. I never would answer the phone and not because I was ignoring them but because a phone call isn't gonna wake me up.
