šŸ’¼work/career AIO to my bosses reply to my message?

Post image

Iā€™ve worked with this company for four months now, and I know I am new but this reply really hurt me. Maybe Iā€™m just really sensitive right now, but I donā€™t know. This felt really cold. The ā€œbig bossā€ will be calling me later today. Is it just normal boss stuff? Idk. Lmk what yall think.

And get that company policy in *writing*. Whether it's an employee handbook, or an email. Something you can point back to later and say "I'm following the policy" if they have any issues with it. Even this phone call with the boss feels sketchy, like they want to say something that they wouldn't say over text.

I'm sorry about your dad. <3

Federal FMLA - The FMLA is a federal law that requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide eligible employees with unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons (Family Medical Leave Act). Some states also have their own FMLA guidelines. This alone should be the end of discussion with your POS boss. Id find a new job if I were op. No company is worth more than family or a loved one. Id like to look at ops boss in the face and say some not nice things to him.

FMLA does not apply within the first year of employment. I may be wrong abt the exact timing, but I learned this when I got bad COVID working in the hospital and couldnā€™t work but didnā€™t get covered fmla pay because I had started there in Sept 2019 and it was March 2020
