I have a had a very hard family situation to deal with over the weekend and I returned to work yesterday after a 2 week break, I spoke to the deputy manager yesterday and did a 4 hour shift and when I returned home I ended up feeling completely drained and knew I was unable to do my shift today. I rang my manager today to try and explain the situation to her who in turn went mad at me as I should have apparently let her know on Monday morning. She kept going on at me how she was short staffed and that a doctor was not going to be able to do anything to help me and I should get into work. I came off the phone feeling like crap and on top of the family situation, not really what I needed. My doctor has signed me off for a week. Is she right that I should have told her on Monday, when I was unable to even talk to anybody else or was I right to leave it until yesterday when I returned to work. Am feeling rather raw and bruised at the moment and I really didn't need this from my boss.
