Wed-Locked To The Schedule
(Today is my co-worker’s wedding day. I have just finished my shift and practically have my foot out the door when my manager stops me, looking panicked.)
Manager: “Can you stay another four hours?”
Me: “What? Why?”
Manager: “[Coworker] has drunk some wine, and can’t come in.”
Me: “Isn’t it her wedding day today?”
Manager: “Yes, that’s why she’s been drinking.”
Me: “And you scheduled her in to work today?”
Manager: “Yes.”
Me: “Seriously?”
Manager: “Yes.”
Me: “And you didn’t think that would be a problem?”
Manager: “No.”
(I stay to cover my coworkers shift in complete shock at my manager’s poor planning.)
