Nice one. I got pulled up from work today by the manager and one of the other workers. Discussing what happened on Friday. I was classed as having an "unauthorised absence" big fatty said she was giving me an off the record sort of warning that if it happens again there will be displine involved and went on about how if I went for a new job that would not look good on my record. She doesn't know if Jim the big boss who owns the home, will want to further the matter.  I was appalled. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't even get any words out except from agreeing WTF I knew she was being a cunt about it all and there was no way I could have come into work! My whole family were called to BE at the hospital that my grandad was dying! Christ!! Big fatty went on about how I'd left the place in an uproar staff struggling to find any other staff to cover so it turned out THEY the boss and some other senior had to do the work of a Support Worker because of me. And, I'd left the lives of all the "vulnerable" people at risk. Now, there is NEVER not a single worker present so how the fuck were they at risk, that is what bank staff are for. It was an EMERGENCY I had no other choice. I wanted to see my grandad before he went. Now he is still here, but we didn't know that at the fucking time. We were told he only had 24hours left IF HE WAS LUCKY! I had to fucking be at the hospital and I do not regret it. I felt I was going to get the sack on the spot. But I couldn't have gave a shit. My grandad is more important to me that than shithole. I want the fuck away from there.  Now I know I did not give them much notice but what the hell else could I have done. WE didn't expect this was going to happen. I had to be at the hospital. Now I don't know whats going to happen tomorrow at work. All I know is that I don't bloody well want to be there. I want to hand in my notice, and real soon. I just wonder how you go about it. I've never had to leave a job before.  My work are complete arseholes. Now I understand they have a responsabilty for staffing the work and all that, and I understand that I have a purpose to in this and that I am supposed to be at work when my rota has been sorted bla bla, but when something so urgent arises WTF can you do!!!  GRRRRR Don't want to go to this shithole tomorrow!

If the job and place seem crap it is.Rite or wrong its not a good place for you to be.Dont be bullied either a former employer is not allowed by law to give a bad reference.Also you are still young and will pass through many jobs after this one and it will melt into the past.

I had to call my boss to make sure she knew what was actually going on. Grr I was so raging, turns out the message hadn\'t been passed on properly! No wonder my boss felt the way she did. Still, she should have let me explain things. Blar
