Today, I got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, despite leaving early to go to work, I still ended up late because some dude decided to have an argument with the bus driver, delaying us by 20 minutes. As a result, I was fired without a write-up. This was my first ever time being late. FML
Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. FML
Today, five hours into my shift, I found out that I had been given the day off. They just forgot to tell me. FML
Today, I was yelled at and almost fired for showing up "late" to work. I was the first one here. FML
Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. FML
Today, I got written up because I took a dump at work that lasted longer than 5 minutes, and I didn't punch out for it as a "paid break." FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah, it sucks to get called in on a day off, that has happened to me before. If you get called in, (you have no choice but to go & can't say "sorry, can't do it") then technically it becomes your shift & yeah, you can get in trouble for being late. My work gives a 15 min grace period (from the time a shift would start) & if I show up 16 or more min late, I get a mark...3 marks=3 day suspension, 1 additional mark=termination of my job because they see you as "non compliant" &/or "unreliable" as well. I have a total of 1 mark this year for being 17 minutes late. Bosses can be jerks when calling you in on a day off.

I wouldn't sign the write-up slip and call HR or Union (If you have one). Anytime I get called in, i always specify that I might not making right when they need me so they don't expect me on time even though I usually am when I get called in. that way they aren't mad if i am late and really happy when I show up when they need.

Your direct boss that wrote you up is an ass. Go over him/her and appeal the hell out of it.
