36. "It also helps if the boss doesn't understand and you need to" In response to Reply # 33
clarify.
We had a case once where my co-worker was very sick (like, hospitalization sick) and his text to the manager was sort of unclear/out of it. He's more casual w/ me, so he was better able to get the point across when he texted me. My manager was under the impression he was asking for a few hours off later in the day, not "I'm seriously ill and not coming in at all".
That did result in a department-wide email about being direct in unscheduled leave request calls/emails/texts, but still.

around here some of us text our supervisor's personal cell phone when we're not coming in. others call his personal cell phone. i call his office phone and if i don't reach him i send a text to his personal cell phone.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

19. "basically....i sent an email and got reamed for not sending a text" In response to Reply # 0
i'm supposed to get to work at 9. at 7:27 i sent an email saying i wouldn't be in today. there may or may not have been a 10:00 meeting (that i really didn't know anything about) but i could have provided insight on one particular item.
i got an email at 10:11 from my supervisor saying "you are to text me when you are requesting unscheduled leave." and apparently during the meeting she was painting me as AWOL and asking people to see if i was in my cubicle. it all just strikes me as so unprofessional. is she not checking her email? like what kind of supervisory high paying professional doesn't check their email first thing in the day. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

it's not just me. and as the new guy....i've kept an open mind. but she's not going to be in that position too much longer. too much beef with EVERYBODY.
she's a nagging, nitpicky ass woman. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

25. "been here since Oct. this is my 1st same day leave request" In response to Reply # 22
no policy, seemingly in place. not hung over, but fucking tired. and i used to day to handle some stuff. and sleep.
i mean i could have called. probably should have called. but to me a call and an email are basically the same thing. to mandate me to text seems stupid. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

29. "i've never sent her a text. never." In response to Reply # 27
this would have literally been the 1st text i sent her. and out of a 10 day pay period...she teleworks 9 days. so you'd think that email would be a big part of her regular routine. i know when i work from home i'm paranoid about checking my shit. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
23. "so next time send a text." In response to Reply # 19
*shrugs*
she probably won't get much traction if she tries to 'write you up' for this since you DID notify her of your unscheduled leave via email at least an hour before your start time. (note: i've worked in gov't offices where we had to send such a request or notice w/in a certain time b4 our scheduled start time - i dunno what the rule is where you work).

I know it sucks (trust me, I KNOW) and you feel bad because you didn't know you did anything wrong, but it's one of those "things" that doesn't come up until it comes up.
