Fiancée “shouldn’t be allowed” to take time off work…
I had surgery to remove a potentially cancerous tumor earlier this week. My fiancée took 3 measly days off work to drive me to and from the appointment and make sure I got through the most risky parts of recovery. We both wanted her home longer, but we need the money.
When she returned to work (low level management), her staff was making sarcastic comments asking how her vacation was. One person even had the audacity to say she shouldn’t be allowed to take time off because it was a mess without her. She said that by an hour into her shift she was ready to scream at everyone that she was NOT on vacation, it was NOT relaxing or enjoyable time off, and it was because she needed to take care of someone WHO GOT CANCER SURGERY! Even when she explained, most people responded with “oh well I guess you get a pass for that, but no more days off haha!”
Oh, and she gets paid \~$22/hr, less than most of the people she manages. She’s so essential that she “shouldn’t be allowed time off” because everything falls apart when she’s gone, but not valuable enough to get a reasonable wage. She’s currently looking for something new, but I’m sure you can imagine how that’s going…
