Are you kidding me?

Tell your bosses that hell called, their souls just arrived.

 

this is a heckuva problem.

 

Bring your sick kid to work next time. Leave the little guy right outside your boss' door.

 

No, that implies that they possessed souls in the first place.

Doc and Ace's responses were best.

 

Like they care.

 

I dunno, I kinda like Mike's for the revenge factor.

Though I also like Doc's.

 

I like Mike's idea too. When your son is screaming too loud because he's not feeling well, you can tell your bosses, "well, you wanted me to work, didn't you?"

Seriously, what kind of assclowns would bitch about you taking a few hours off to take a sick baby to the doctor? I'd take off for the day in a heartbeat. If they don't care about your son's health, why should you care about their business.

Remember, no one ever said on their deathbed, "I wish I'd spent more time at the office."

 

I wouldn't worry about it. If someone gets nasty tell them to fuck off.

I would say, family comes first, I allowed in my employee manual and federal law to care for my sick children. Your the manager. It's your problem about staffing, not mine.

 

Is Bill Lumbergh the boss in question?

Any ways ... this is complete bullshit. If they can't accept a dad needing to take a sick baby to the doctor, then you need to find a different job. Then, have your kid sneeze/cough/shit/piss/vomit on those motherfucking cocksucking asshole's desks.

 

Assuming you're looking for constructive advice and not just blowing off steam, what he said.
You need to find out if theirs was a considered response -- if they really, truly don't think you should be able to take your kid to the doctor -- or if this was just some sort of miscommunication/stress of the moment thing.
And absolutely, if you talk this over with them calmly and rationally and their view really is that junior should suffer because they have a coaches' luncheon that might need covering ... you need to get the hell out of there.


Also, I am willing to risk public scorn by asking that somebody explain the baseball card thing to me. I don't get it. Sorry, I'm old and stuff.

 

Finally, a mature, reasoned response.

Which is appropriate, since none of us have any idea about the true context of the issue. Poster said he got "beat down" by his bosses? Really? Or perhaps a slight exaggeration? I learned a long time ago . . . take only one side of an issue with a huge grain of salt.

Now, you can resume preparing that large pot of boiling oil for the poster's bosses.
