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

Your manager is definitely not smart enough for his position. Many people are not well informed on diabetes which is a serious and common disease. Take it up to HR and the lawyers!!

What a prick. My father has diabetes and has to give himself shots twice a day. He's had scares where his blood sugar drops dangerously in the middle of the night and I have to find him something to eat. I'm always afraid he'll be to weak to yell for me to please wake up and help. I'd be hella pissed with your douche boss.

Why wouldn't your father keep something handy nearby? Like a piece of candy on the nightstand for just in case of a drop?

I don't have diabetes but my mom does, but her coworkers forget she's a diabetic and I have had to rush to her work numerous times to bring her something that has sugar because apparently people don't see the signs, and while this would be an acceptional excuse normally, she's a nurse and works with multiple doctors.

I feel you. I have reactive hypoglycemia because of a medication I am on and my boss makes fun of me for "eating too often"

Wow. A similar thing happened to my dad a few weeks ago. He got taken to the hospital for Major heart problems and he got a deduction on his paycheck. His job is what puts food on our table and keeps us living under a roof.

My diabetic boyfriend is having something similar happen to him at work. His supervisor is telling him he "takes too many bathroom breaks" and is threatening to lock the restrooms. Plus is supervisor doesn't believe anything about diabetic laws
