My daughter was really sick so a while back I missed a week of work. I called in everyday gave them updates and so forth. I called on a night that I was going to go to make sure I still had a job they said yes but there going to write me up. I said okay. Well they are supposed to give you three write ups before you get fired. That's what it says in the handbook and all supervisors say as well. Well they went straight to my final warning and told me if I missed again I was fired. I had to sign the paper or I would have gotten in trouble. Anyway I got really sick with bronchitis and I even tried going to work. I couldn't make it. I requested the rest of the night and the next night off and my supervisor agreed. I figured I would be okay. I was still in very bad shape so I called the supervisor and asked her for a call in vacation day. I knew they were not doing call in vacation days and I told her that but I said she knew how sick I was and that if she would give me one she didn't have to bother calling. If she would not then I would come in. I'd probably end up leaving early because I was running a fever and what not. Next day I got a phone call saying I was terminated because I failed to come to work. SHe called me before so I assumed she would again. Also they say that the three warnings is a rule but their are a ton of people I knew who worked their and missed all the time and never got a single warning because the boss liked them. So its basically whose the favorite.
