Seems like New York law would be in your side for this one. Ambulance qualifies as an excuse. No?

I have a new job that I have been at for a month. My attendance is perfect, I'm always early. I called in sick once, had a doc note. And one day I was taken out of work by ambulance. I had lost the ability to speak. Dr's thought that it was a stroke. Thankfully it was just a migraine with expressive aphasia. Still concerning (that is a bad thing to have happen with a migraine), but not as bad as a stroke. So this is why I need to vent: I went back to work that Monday, and found out that I was being written up for "leaving work early". In an ambulance. That they called. Needless to say, I am looking for a new job. I haven't quit this one yet, but I sure do plan on it. I was wondering where my old boss went....................................MrP |

That's crazy!!
Boss needs to write herself up since she caused you to leave early.
That's just nuts!!

DO NOT sign your write up. You do have rights and as Scott says- the law is on your side.
That said- I can see the boss expecting more of this and documenting things so that he will be justified when firing you. So, refuse to sign and protest. Don't worry about rocking the boat. You MAY be on your way out anyway. F**k em.
ETA- I should have added that they may see your health as a liability to the company, too. I'd start putting out resumes. Crappy, but that's business.

My late father in law once had a heart attack and open heart surgery. He was in college at the time. His professor refused to allow him to make up an exam- it wasn't a good enough excuse!!!!

Not signing the write up is nothing. Literally. They will have a witness state she was informed. The writeup form is an acknowledgement only. The witness can do that for her. She will not be signing "agreeing to content". Nobody would sign that. |

I was in a job once where the boss kept trying to get rid of me, and finally succeeded. Turns out she had wanted someone else for the job, but they "had" to hire me as a lateral placement during a lay-off. I believe she was later charged with fraud and misappropriation of funds, which explains why she wanted her own lackey in the position that was offered to me. My suspicion is that your boss is up to no good.

At one of the local radio stations, the DJ set Johnny Paycheck's "Take this Job and Shove It," on perpetual loop, locked the door and left. It took the station hours to change it!

Needless to say, I am looking for a new job. I haven't quit this one yet, but I sure do plan on it. Probably is time for a new job. Hate to say it, but even with a doctors note and being taken by ambulance, missing twice in the first month is a red flag. I'm not saying your reasons were not legit and your attendance going forward wouldn't be stellar, but from years of being in management, my experience is people who miss during the first 90 days at a new job, tend to have poor attendance records overall. This is a generality, of course, and yes, you had a doctors note for the first absence and another truly legit reason for the second. But as an employer, our judgement does become clouded by people who 'lay' out of work frequently. Even after everything that I stated above, being written up for 'leaving work early' is sh*tty and not something that I, or any of my managers would every do! Quite honestly they are probably trying to get you to quit. |

I always told them "I was looking for a job,when I found this one"... I hate bosses! A few aren't bad,most are pricks!

How is she supposed to get a job, when employers automatically assume her work ethic is problematic?

Looks like Pandagem vented herself right off this board and took her post with her!
Good luck, Panda, where ever you may be!
