10 step pay raises

[whenIgetthere]

May have mentioned this before, but mgr wanted me to come in on day off. Sorry, dentist appointment. Getting a tooth pulled. Can you come in after getting it pulled? No!

When my dad died, took a bereavement day. Manager asked me if I could do a pick up route after the funeral.

Oh my gosh, that's a new low.

Didn't you just tell them that you are using the three bereavement days from the get go?

Love it when people whine and complain they don't make enough money to fund their 401k or can't afford the insurance benefits, then admit they use sick days for little or no reason instead of taking the 40 hour check every year. If you are sick, by all means, take the days. If you aren't and use them up, what will happen come April or May when you are really sick and are out of days? Or if you get hurt and have to take 5 sick days before workman's comp or short term kicks in. Sounds like you are off without pay.

And if so, guess what? It's my problem and not yours.

Just give people more to complain about. Can hear the complaints now. "I am out of sick days and now I call in sick and don't get paid". Or. "I got hurt and have to take 5 days off before short term kicks in and I am out of days".

When you work in a small station and take a sick day expect a lot of hassle. Last summer when I slipped and fell it took almost a month for pain to go away yet I was back after 8 workdays. The tone in my mgr's voice was getting angry. I came back at the point I could tolerate the pain. And of course several of my coworkers acted like they wanted to spit in my face. About 15 employees, so yeah if one goes out it affects others. Funny how when they call in sick they don't want any questioning of legitimacy. It was at that point I decided to retire, tired of the B.S..

I've experienced this when I was at a small station. People figured it out when I would laugh at them for coming up to me, trying to make me feel guilty for calling in sick.

You really screwed us over.

I didn't screw anyone over. You screwed yourself over if you worked any hard than you usually do. That certainly isn't my fault.

I thought you never talked to anyone about their pay?

Guess what? I had a surgery early last leave year having to use all my sick days. Never once did I whine like you said above. It was what it was. No sick days so I worked sick. That simple.

You don't really believe him when he's talking, do you? lol.

That was the third day. My dad passed on a Tuesday while I was on road, took Weds, Thurs and Fri for my three days.

Must you come on here and complain all the time? Complain, complain, complain, that's all you ever do!

He's a miserable. Bitch and moan about all the things he says don't bother him.

I find it quite entertaining, him complaining about people complaining.

I don't. People moan and groan in the break room or check in. People on here moan and groan about everything.

Is it even possible to code a time card with bereavement and on road codes for the same day?

That isn't what you said originally. You said that when you wanted a day off you call in sick. They would not let you off for a personal so you called in sick. Now you mention having surgery and using your sick days. Make up your mind. Do you have more stories to tell? Try the truth this time.

I'm ALWAYS on to something. I guess you are too, in a middle-lower-class sort of way; you know, like finding meals for $1.50 and such.
