Hello,
I do not usually vent on these boards, however I am upset and need to. I work and live in Houston. Becuase of hurricane Ike, my family and I decided to evcuate to Missouri (becuase it is a day's drive, we have family there and can stay for free). on thursday afternoon as I was leaving work I told 2 of my managers about the situation and asked them if this okay to leave and not be at work for maybe a week. Also the main reason we wanted to leave was because we knew we would be without electrticity my dad is a heart patient and cannot live without. I also told my 2 managers this information as well. They both said they understood, and that I would not be fired because of the sitatution. So friday morning my family and I headed out to Missouri. My managers also stated that as long as I kept them informed that everything would be alright.
This evening I called in to work to see if they were running operations and they said yes (they were closed yesterday) I let them know I was calling in and my manager said that my job must not be important to me, and that other people are coming into work, so he didn't understand why I wasn't coming in. he was not one of the original managers I spoke with, however I again told him the whole story of why I would not be there and again he said my job must not be important to me.
I am so mad at this point, I am thinking about just quitting.
Thank you for reading...
