To not go to work tomorrow?

[mo3g]

I have a long day at work tomorrow and i know i should go, but my gran had a heart attack yesterday and they think something else is wrong with her. They are doing lots more tests to be sure before they tell us. I spent the afternoon with her and my mum and when she went for tests she asked me to look after her necklace which she never takes off i gave it to my mum as i felt uncomfortable with it incase i lost it and my mum put it round her neck and it fell off we found it thank god and at that point the fire alarm went off and we were asked to leave the hospital there was a fire. So we came home as my mum was going back tonight so had to get the things she had asked for.

So i get home to deal with my 3 dd's as the phone go's to say my mum has fallen on the ice and has badly hurt herself and has been rushed to hospital i am shaking and i dont know what is happening my dad is with her cant even think of going to work but only been there a month and dont like letting people down AIBU

exceptional circumstances - if your boss is human they will understand

hope they are both OK

Unfortunately with a new company you will no doubt encounter scepticism with any absence. let alone two issues as you have described.

Thing is, your mums fall is unfortunate but really doesn't stop you attending work. Perhaps you should be omit this fact from a call to your employer and simply relay your grandmothers problems and see if they can give you compassionate leave for the day?

my god what a horrible day youv'e had you poor thing! agree with peedofwithnits, what good would you be at work tomorrow anyway. your head will be in another place completely.

YANBU to not want to work. I wouldn't be able to concentrate either. Hope your employer can see this too.

do you live far from your work?

if you can you should go in -then ask to speak to your manager - explain what has happened and say you are worried that you will be no use in work because you so upset and have so much going on. Hopefully, if they have a heart, they will send you home.

If you turn up it will look better and not like you are just trying it on.
