My boss has one child who is 9 months. Ever since she had her daughter, she has been missing AT LEAST one day a week from work. It is always last minute notice too. She says she has to stay home and watch her daughter since her mother (who is the child's caretaker) goes out of town, gets sick, needs a day off, etc.
However, when I asked her to take a half day because I has something important to do, she told me "she would have to think about it" even though I gave 2 weeks notice. I have vacation time and I need the 1/2 day to go to the doctor because I am pregnant, but I didn't want to announce it yet.
If anyone in our office has to take care of their children, my boss says they need to find a reliable daycare or they may lose their job!
Her supervisor (the CEO) is not here enough to understand the situation. Plus my supervisor is on salary, so she has not kept track of her time off and not docked pay!
Why is she the exception? If I pulled this I would be fired!

The supervisor that misses work is a WOMAN, just so no one is "confused"

She is a boss so she is going to get certain privileges and more availability of flex time. She deserves it if she is good at her job and has paid her dues.
Now as for you, if you have put in some time and paid your dues you deserve time off too. Especially with prior notice. Brand new workers, of course have less privileges. Make yourself important to your company, be efficient while you are at work, and you will be able to set more of your schedule.

To be eligible for FMLA leave, an individual must (1) be employed by a covered employer and work at a worksite within 75 miles of which that employer employs at least 50 people; (2) have worked at least 12 months (which do not have to be consecutive) for the employer; and (3) have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months immediately before the date FMLA leave begins.
Basic Provisions/Requirements
The FMLA provides an entitlement of up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave during any 12-month period for the following reasons:
Birth and care of the employee's child, or placement for adoption or foster care of a child with the employee;
Care of an immediate family member (spouse, child, parent) who has a serious health condition; or
Care of the employee's own serious health condition.
If the above provisions apply, tell your boss that she is violating the law.

PrettyWiffey.
You are absolutely correct, if the shoe was on the other foot
you may have to limp out the door no exception. however it seems to me your boss my need a listing of drop in day cares close to the office or a list of some highly recommended care givers in case of emergencies also she may want to suggest
on site daycare at the work place for all parents of young babies ,
toddlers and pre-schoolers if all else fails call the ethics hot line
for your company ask what you should do. Terra P.

I would not put up with that. Your boss is taking advantage of her position over you and all the other employees. I wouldn't hesitate to report her to your CEO. Even if her supervisor doesn't see it, he/she cannot ignore a complaint made by employees. I'm sure you could do it anonymously (sp?) too if you are worried about that. All I know is, I sure as heck would not be putting up with those double standards! Put your foot down, girl!

Guilt journeys attempt to persuade you that some thing which you understand is right, is surely incorrect and your fault. think of, what's extra important, shifting, or making your dad experience extra helpful even once you understand that's an exaduration. in case you could shop on telling your self that that's extra helpful to pass (which by all potential it in all probability is) than pass.

go to her supervisor about the situation. That's not right for her to threaten your job

Maybe the CEO who is missing a lot should be notified of what is missed.

I would complain to someone about her, that's not fair to everyone else there that actually has something important to do.

She sounds like a wicked-*****, too.
I would report it to your HR, and call it a hostile working environment.
