Well, here goes, this ones going to be a long one. Last Tuesday night was a doosie, I think the straw that broke the camels back hit, about ohhh,…. TWICE. Went to bed crying Tuesday night, woke up crying Wednesday morning, basically I had a nervous break down, couldn’t take it, so I called in to work. I told them I needed a mental holiday, because I was SUPER stressed out and couldn’t think straight. Wednesday was not the stress relieving day I needed it to be, but Thursday (a day I had off) turned out to be a wonderful day, a great stress relieving day, so much got done and accomplished, I felt like a new woman going to work on Friday. I had my Quarterly review at about 9:30 in the morning Friday morning. My score on that was 90, paper says GREAT on it, my supervisor told me that I was a great employee, that I do really good work, the only thing I needed to work on is my absences, (which I have had about 4 or 5 since starting to work there…. due to lots of things mainly new medicines and new people with new germs) anyways I told her I was going to work on it. So the rest of the day went pretty well. Then about 1:30 my supervisor said she needed to talk to me for about two minutes, so I finished up what I had at my station and went into her office. I knew it prolly wasn’t good when she was there along with the lab manager. Well she starts off saying we determined that your absence on Wednesday was an unexcused absence, (I figured it would be). Then she says, because you are still in your first 90 days we are going to have to terminate you…. I was like WHAT?????? The paper work I filled out my first day on the job said any unexcused absence in the first 30 days was automatic termination, along with unexcused tardys. So I said this, that what I signed said 30 days! They were like “you are going to have to take that up with HR, we need your badge you need to clean out your locker and leave now.” They treated my like a criminal. For doing what… TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!!! If the paper work I had signed had said 90 days, I probably would have fibbed and said I was sick on that Wednesday, but because what I signed said 30 days, I told the truth, because “normal” employees have 4 unexcused absences before they even get a verbal warning…. So I got home and tried to call HR because I want to find out what exactly I signed, (I don’t seem to have a copy of that piece of paper), but our HR person never answers her phone, so I left a message, and am going to call back on Monday. I can’t go to the lab, I can’t call my supervisor, or anyone else in the lab, only HR. That’s what they told me when they gave me the boot. So I don’t want to go to the lab, for fear of them trying to call the cops on me or something! Which I totally DON’T deserve.
So I am a little upset that I was unjustly fired, but on the bright side, I can concentrate on my other stressers now, and get this house ready for its move to Missouri in late June, and I can work on wedding things, that really need to get done, and Dan will get to stay home now, because I can take him to school and doctors appointments now. I am going to try and see about some kind of part time or pick up work, so some money can come in. Also going to get temporary health insurance so I will be covered.
NEVER WORK FOR LAB CORP IN KNOXVILLE!!!!!!!!
