Mini rant here. Someone at my work has a 1 year old child. Last week they only came in for one day as their child care let them down. Fair enough, I get it. But then this week, they told the manager they were coming back as it was all sorted. And yet again, they still didn’t come in as child care let them down again. Their story isn’t adding up (changing elements of it everytime they call in). My manager said they can’t give them a disciplinary because check this, childcare issues can’t be questioned.
So I said well, I guess I’ll have to get pregnant soon then and I’ll be able to have all the time off I like
obvs joking. But they must not need the money because it’s all unpaid!
