Today, I got in trouble with my boss for not showing up to work yesterday. It seems going into anaphylactic shock isn't a valid excuse. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML
Today, I got into trouble for sleeping at work. FML
Today, I got my ass kicked by my boss at work. Why? Because I missed my shift on Saturday, because I slept through my alarms and the phone calls from my co-workers, and I woke up three hours later in a state of panic. This is all because of a medicine I'm on for migraines. FML
Today, I went to the gym to run. I ended up at the hospital because i went into anaphylactic shock. Apparently I'm allergic to exercise now. FML
Today, I have food poisoning. My boss told me that if I didn't come into work, I'd be fired. Not 30 minutes after sitting down, I sneezed and shat my pants. My boss still won't let me leave. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for being 3 hours late. I was late because I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. Apparently, breaking my arm is not a good enough excuse. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML
Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If they try to penalize you for it file a complaint with the company.

Can't you report him to the higher ups?

It sounds to me like you're working for someone very similar to my previous boss; she said we weren't allowed to miss meetings, even for dire emergencies, and would write people up for the stupidest things. I recommend writing a detailed email to HR and possibly the people above your boss in authority. Works wonders.

Am I the only one that doesnt know what anaphylactic means?

It means a really severe allergic reaction, usually life-threatening. For example, if you're allergic to peanuts, you might get a bit itchy or get a rash if you accidentally have a peanut. If you're anaphylactic to peanuts, your throat would close up and kill you if you don't get an Epi-pen (adrenalin boost) straight away.

Or, you could Google it.

It is another name for severe allergic reaction. In most cases, you have trouble breathing because your throat is swelling up.

Eh, my boss bitched me out for calling in when I had pneumonia lol Just make sure you have documentation and go over your boss' head if you get penalized for it.

a doctors certificate should be enough. don't expect him to take your word for it. FYL if the boss tossed the certificate

that's when you go get another copy and take it to his boss and let the higher ups know what's going on.

You could of died. File a complaint, that isn't right at all.

You should have discharge paperwork from the hospital that is time and date stamped. That should suffice with HR
