I have been with this company over 17 years. Never caused a problem never so much as had a tardy. This past weekend they wanted us to work Saturday and Sunday. A lady I worked with and myself did not want to work it. She was having a lot of back and leg issues, my dad was getting out of the hospital following his second brain surgery. We were told we had to have a doctors note or get one point per day we missed. Friday our supervisor asked if we would be there. We said no. She ended up being able to get a doctors note. Monday morning the manager and supervisor take us into a meeting together. He pushes her doctors note to her and says it has to have more information on it. He then proceeds to point his finger in her face saying she got the upper hand on them this time. She asked him to stop while she was crying and he did it more and kept repeating you got the upper hand on us. He then looked at me and said as for you for not showing up you get two no call no shows. And when HR gets back you will have more consequences. How can they tell me I'm being punished in a different way than originally said. And why do I deserve more punishment? Also, they took us both in together and were discussing her medical issues in front of me. I'm sure none of this is illegal, but I thought maybe someone could give me some advice on how to handle my meeting with HR and if there is anything I can do. Thanks.
