Today, I got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML

Clearly you were supposed to be waiting outside your workplace all day. YDI.

Your boss is an asshole and an idiot. Fyl op.

I've read an fml similar to this before! FYL OP!

Yeah, it sucks to get called in on a day off, that has happened to me before. If you get called in, (you have no choice but to go & can't say "sorry, can't do it") then technically it becomes your shift & yeah, you can get in trouble for being late. My work gives a 15 min grace period (from the time a shift would start) & if I show up 16 or more min late, I get a mark...3 marks=3 day suspension, 1 additional mark=termination of my job because they see you as "non compliant" &/or "unreliable" as well. I have a total of 1 mark this year for being 17 minutes late. Bosses can be jerks when calling you in on a day off.

I didn't mean to click the deserve button how does one unclick the button

I wouldn't sign the write-up slip and call HR or Union (If you have one). Anytime I get called in, i always specify that I might not making right when they need me so they don't expect me on time even though I usually am when I get called in. that way they aren't mad if i am late and really happy when I show up when they need.

I would take it up with HR in the presence of an attorney

Your direct boss that wrote you up is an ass. Go over him/her and appeal the hell out of it.

I know the feeling. Only im on time and my managers are late :(
