I just need a title encouragement. Today, I got "talked" to at work bc I had to call off two weeks ago bc my 2 month old was in the emergency room sick. After being off work for medical reasons for 6 months. Pretty much I was told it doesn't matter what my reason is. I can't miss work unless it's scheduled way ahead of time or I'm going to get a occurrence. The issue I have, is I worked for this same company prior to being on FMLA in a different position and my boss then (CEO) was very flexible and family oriented and NEVER got on to me because I would make up my time unless I missed and entire day or something... so my new boss, has made me feel 100x worse about having to leave my kids, and it's added to my depressed mood bc I'm worried about calling off. I don't have anyone to watch my children if they are sick, so what am I supposed to do?
I was supposed to have a repeat pap to check for cancerous cells but I had to cancel due to the fact I would've been missing work. I can't go to my therapy appointments or NP to get meds refilled bc I'd be missing work..
I really don't know what to do, I feel like I'm no longer valued as an employee and am very upset over this. I understand policy, but the way it was handled and the way I was talked to and made to feel was just not okay...
Let me add that I come in early several days a week and stay later because we are super busy adjusting to new staff and giving 150 doesn't matter when you had a seriously ill child in the hospital.
