A cold-hearted manager

4 One of my coworkers (L) called in this week because her dad is in the hospital. He had a heart attack. My coworker called to let the managers know that she like to take some time off. The manager took the call at the nurses station while a bunch of us were around and proceeds to yell at L on the phone. She told L that her request NEEDS to be preapproved and blah blah. It was really unprofessional of the manager to yell like that and make a scene. I walked away but could still hear L being ripped a new one

FYI: Remind all family/pets/friends that their emergencies are to only OCCUR after preapproval. Gotcha
Some people... :icon_roll

;( what a horrible response to a very difficult situation for an employee

Perhaps "L" should tell manager to go to place that rhymes with "L". Seriously, surely the manager would be out of there without preapproval if her/his family member was in the same situation.

*still shaking my head*I get that there are staffing needs but was it necessary to go off on her like that? She is a scary woman.

Need to file a disruptive behavior in the workplace report, regarding the manager......you HAVE the witnesses

Family first!

It probably won't be the last time she does it either!

I'm assuming L doesn't chronically have family emergencies. It never ceases to amaze me that hospitals never understand that employees and their families have medical emergencies and illnesses too. I'm trying really hard to not wish some payback for your manager.

Quote from Kohala71I am scared to file because I fear for my job. Hopefully one of the old-timers there will file. Yeah, I am a chicken.

The person who was being yelled out should file, as well. And you should talk to HR about a hostile workplace environment. This is normally anonymous. Your workplace may have a 'hotline' for reporting this.Best wishes!
