Work: Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early...

Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML

Today, while at work, I suddenly went into diabetic shock. As I was nearly passed out on the floor, a customer yelled at me for not getting his coffee in time. FML

Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML

Today, my manager bailed on me during the afternoon rush; swamped and distracted, I cut off the pad of my thumb in a cheese slicer. Some clinic hours later I returned, hungry and sick with blood loss, to sign WC papers. Manager's only words: "You're staying late to cover your long break, right?" FML

Today, I went in to work and was handed a write-up for having lied about being sick in order to leave early yesterday. Apparently, a co-worker saw me leave the parking lot, then immediately pull into the shopping center next door. I was going to Walgreens for cold medicine. FML

Today, my manager said I could go on a break when he came back from his. After 7 hours with him still missing, I started to get dizzy. I ended up passing out and hitting my head on a ladder from lack of food. I woke up in the hospital to a card from my manager saying, "Get Well. Don't Sue." FML

Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML

No excuses

Today, I got in trouble with my boss for not showing up to work yesterday. It seems going into anaphylactic shock isn't a valid excuse. FML

Today, while at work I passed out due to my blood sugar not being normal. Despite the fact that it took 10 minutes to wake me, no one thought I was in any sort of danger. After the episode, I then got fired for "sleeping on the job." FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML

Today, despite having a stomach bug, I went into work, as my boss is overseas and had warned me not to take any sick leave until she returned. After 4 hours and vomiting twice, I left. She found out and sent me an email bitching me out for coming in sick. FML

I know your pain OP. One time I was in the middle of a test when my blood sugar dropped so low that I could hardly stand up, but my teachers refused to let me go get something to eat. Then they failed me and tried to have me suspended for "causing a scene" after I passed out. Not many people understand how serious diabetes can be. Sorry OP, I would report the manager to HR and see what they can do

Just ignore him. If he ever suspends you or fires you for a related incident, take it up with corporate and get his job.

^This! If he ever fires you Op he would be in the wrong. You can't fire someone over their disability.

Yeah your manager is an asshole, no question about it. I'm so sorry that happened to you, I hope there's no trouble between you and your manager after that. :/

He probably feels stupid because you left in an emergency. So he had to come up with something to justify himself.

can't blame him, not even 15 minutes into his shift, my coworker faked a heart attack so he could leave work early and get paid for the whole day. ****** got picked up by the ambulance/went to the hospital but was fine to work the next day.

I would never assume someone is faking any sort of medical condition. If you're in the states, he would've had medical bills to pay and I don't think that's worth faking the trip to the hospital. Plus, he could've thought he was having a heart attack and it could've been something as simple as gas pain (this happens a lot) or it could've been something else that was more mild but still important, in which case you can't fault him for going to the hospital if he thought it was a heart attack; better safe then sorry. It's always best to assume the person is actually having a problem then to have it turn out you're wrong and look like you're an insensitive jerk, like op's boss. ;)
