    You will also be without a job.

    Then I guess they’ll have to find someone to cover when I’m gone. either way, it’s a notice not a request.

      It’s always funny to read

      • You can’t use your PTO without coverage. You’re too critical to business functions to miss even a single day.

      • We’ll fire you for any reason or no reason at all. We don’t even need you. You should be grateful we let you work here.

      And folks wonder why 90% of businesses fail.

        Attendance is not any reason. You are literally hired for attending. If you cannot be consistent how can you expect to be valuable?

      I don’t find that as a professional attitude. It is not a team attitude as well. I understand there are certain events that cannot be missed and I would work with my employees to accommodate.

      However, that attitude never lasts. Anywhere I have ever managed or been an employee. It is a roadblock to promotion or worse. And you can have the attitude “that’s not my problem”. But remember that next time you have an issue you bring to your boss and they say “it’s not my problem”. They are people too that report to supervisors.

        Let me make something extremely fucking clear.

        There are plenty of places to get a paycheck.

        Time with my family is irreplaceable. We’re only on the same team as long as you understand that you will never be as important as home life.

          Go ahead. That sounds like a threat and I wouldn’t trust you. My boss wouldn’t trust you either. Go find that other job. I’m not your mother.

            Who gives an actual fuck what your boss thinks?

            You speak like someone who has been beaten down so much that lifting your head up seems like treachery to you.

            If your work is important to you, good for you, but your boss is not thinking about you when you aren’t around.

            Grow up and join the real world.

              Wow. You sound really jaded. That cooperative work equates to some kind of negative. In fact you sound like a teenager that has not fully formed their emotions. I’m telling you how it comes off and what are the consequences from an upper management perspective. Since I sit in on meetings from a multi-billion company with them, maybe hear it out. Or don’t. It’s really up to you if you think I’m out to get you from telling you what happens in today’s business world.

              Do I wish we could all take every single day we want and not work 50 hours a week and do what my boss says? Yes. But I am not more in control of those strings than anyone else here and just play the game just like everyone else.
