[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 722618, member: 1233"] THANK YOU!!!! Of course I am her mother, so advice from me is not worth a plugged nickel! Coming from you, it will mean a lot! Printing out the emails is a good idea. She tried just emailing her the office manager, but that didn't seem to do anything. Well, it ensured she was scheduled to work every single day she had an appointment. Normally I wouldn't get so upset, but the holidays are coming up. She is the employee with the most seniority in her position (night host meaning working the front desk receptionist at night and on the weekend on the funeral home). Somehow the other 2 girls get priority when they ask for days off. With holidays they get priority because they have kids. Gee, they popped out kids without making sure they had fathers to help with them, or even making sure they were able to provide homes for them. My daughter is responsible enough to prevent that, so she has to work all of the holidays and other scut times? How is that fair? Jess has had to work every single holiday so far. My stepmother in law has had her cancer come back. This is likely to be our last Christmas with her. I do not want my daughter to have to miss that due to work because she doesn't have kids. It might make me angry enough to refuse to drive her to work over the holidays. She is not able to walk to work on her knee. I don't want to punish Jess, but if it comes down to work or spending the last Christmas with her grandmother on Hubby's side, work can go kiss my tushie. I have told Jess that I will NOT drive her to work to cover shifts that she is not scheduled for. If she is trading shifts with someone, they have to work for her BEFORE she works for them, or else I won't drive her to work. I told Hubby he was not to drive her to work except for shifts printed on her schedule either. His eyes got real big when I said that. He knows not to mess with me when I get this angry. Part of my anger is because in the last 2 weeks the owner of the funeral home has called Jess and told her that she HAD to cover a shift for one coworker at least 2 times. He did not ask, he told her she HAD to come in to work. I know because he was very loud on the phone and I heard him. She had to cancel a doctor's appointment to do it one day.
