Today, I got a call from my employers wanting to ask why I had a no call, no show for today. My supervisor reported me for not showing up to work. It's my day off, and also my birthday. FML

"Why isn't Chris here? Oh, right, it's his day off." "Who's Chris again?" "You know, 29-year-old, short hair, glasses…" "I just checked the employee roster, and the only Chris is 30." "Oh, I must've been confused. Call him and tell him to get his ass in here!"

NCNS for a single day is not an issue unless you stood up some clients. Forget about day off, even if it wasn't your birthday you would have got it as emergency leave/special day leave where prior intimation is not necessary.

That is not always true. I've worked three different jobs where a No Call, No Show was considered grounds for immediate termination unless you could show paperwork that said you were like unconscious in the hospital or something during the time you were missing. I've never been the type to no call, no show so it has never effected me but I know a couple of people who lost their jobs for doing it. A couple others jobs I worked would write you up the first time it happened but fire you if it happened a second time. It just depends on where you work.

Managers make mistakes!!! Fight it, if you can!!! It would be worth your time

That sucks. I once missed an entire weekend of work because when I went to go check the schedule there was a manager meeting with the owners they all saw me come to the door they all knew I was there they acknolwedged me wouldn't let me come in checked the schedule for me and said "You don't work this weekend" I spent the weekend hanging out with some friends got home to find messages asking why I hadn't come in. Called in spoke to the store manaager who read the schedule wrong "Yeah I remember that's totally my bad so we will only only count one of the two days as an occurence" Which had me like "Wait wtf how about no occurence seeing as you just admittted you told me not to come in" but I was young and inexperienced said nothing and when I was sick a few days later and called in sick well before my shift was fired. I also didn't know about FMLA at the time.
