Today, I was short shifted at work because one of my employees decided not to show up. Furious, I wrote her up and made predetermined judgments about her. When she came in, I went off on her for being absent and leaving me stuck. She then informed me her mom tried to commit suicide. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was upset over a recent break up. It showed while I was at work, and I made a customer sad just by looking blue. She complained to my manager. I got written up for being so depressed that I got a customer depressed too. FML
Today, I had to fire an employee because she constantly calls in, or is late to work. She became very emotional and I felt kind of bad, so I walked her out myself. We then got stuck in the company elevator. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, I missed my shift at work. I had asked my girlfriend, who works at the same store, to text me my schedule. She sent me the wrong hours for today. I got suspended, and she broke up with me for being too irresponsible. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I went into my boss's office to confront her about not consulting me before switching my shifts with someone else. I left in tears. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML

That's why you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. She could have been late for any reason and you chose ones where she is lazy or irresponsible

Even so, people need to phone in about having an emergency. She could be lying about it otherwise.

I would understand if said worker has been absent before but still should get all the facts before doing anything or else you run the chance of doing so rash and it comes back and bites you like said situation.

I said you deserve it because you flipped out at her and you should never flip out at employees but she still should have called.

You totally deserved it! you're just like my boss, who's ready to fire someone for being sick or not being able to come in because of some other serious reason.

The employee could have sent a quick text explaining the situation. The boss wouldn't be able to read minds.

YDI. People have things going on in life that you don't know about. So don't assume they're just calling in for no reason.

She could have called. I'd be extremely furious, so I don't blame OP one bit.
