My Boss accused me for calling out on fathers day?
Yesterday I went to a family reunion and had a little too much to eat. I came home at 830 pm and wasn't feeling really well. I tried to tough it out over night but was up most of the night sick and couldn't leave the bathroom. I called my boss at 6am this morning to let her know I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be in. She said "this isn't because of Fathers day is it??!!?" I told her "No, I feel like crap and my kids aren't even home today" She said "OH whatever, I'll talk to you about it Monday, Enjoy your day!" then hung up on me. My question is, I feel wrongfully accused from her. Do I go in tomorrow and tell her that I don't appreciate her accusing me of calling out for fathers day or just let it go?

Well, she shouldnt have asked you the reason why you were calling out....but I really dont think its a big deal. I would just sit down with her Monday and see what she has to say....but dont let her walk all over you.

Well, put yourself in her position for a second. You don't like her accusing you of calling off for Father's Day. She doesn't like people who call off for Father's Day, or any holiday. I am sure this happens to her all the time. Since you ARE a father, I am sure this would be any boss' natural assumption. Many companies require a doctors' note as the only valid excuse for missing work on a required holiday. Whether you approach her about it or not depends on your history as an employee, and her capacity to care what you have to say. If you DO approach her, then do it in an apologetic way ("I'm sorry I had to miss yesterday. I understand you feel it was because of Father's Day. However........"), not accusatorily.

This all really depends upon your work record. Do you have good attendance - and by that I mean have you missed no more than 1 day per year? Do you have a good work ethic and do you produce good work?
If you can answer yes to these questions, then she is the problem and on Monday you should point out your good record. If you cannot answer yes to these questions, then her comments and manner are clearly wrong, but you remain defenseless.

Call in sick again tomorrow. Couldn't be father's day then.
Depends on how secure you are in your job. I would tell my boss to go butt a stump because I know they need me worse than I need them. Sounds like your boss is a jerk or you are on thin ice with her anyway. I would let it go and start looking for my next job.
Bosses don't call out employees they respect, only those they don't respect.

If you're still sick tomorrow, go to a doctor and get a note from your doctor verifying your story. If you are still throwing up now, save some for your boss in a coffee can and bring it to work tomorrow to show her.

Wow.. this is incredibly troublesome to furnish impressive advice right here using fact eventhough you attempt to describe, over the internet you are able to by no ability incredibly get distinctive sufficient, so my advice could be to seek for some style of couples counseling. yet I only choose to declare that this entire dynamic between you 2 look alot like how my mom and my mom have been and nonetheless are around eachother(earlier and now even after the divorce). My dad will attempt his ultimate time and time lower back, and while issues pass slightly bitter or circumstances get difficult he continually tries his ultimate to make all people around him happy, yet my mom only nevr appreciates it and actual taken care of him like airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust by an prolonged periode of their marriage(they have been married 2 many years), and it has incredibly pushed my father to the floor. He now suffers from stress and severe blood stress, and that i know it sounds undesirable yet i think of she has slightly to do with it as far as by no ability being happy. yet i think of the 1st element you will desire to do is pass to somekind of couples counseling, and only attempt to communicate to eachother what bothers you. there's no longer something incorrect if conversing, this is unfastened. and that i think of you will desire to undergo in techniques that on the top of the day you will desire to be happy. it is not ok if only one in all you is content cloth. You the two would desire to be. this is all approximately giving incredibly.

It does sound coincidental, but she had no right to talk to you like that and then hang up the phone. What a b****! When she accuses you of it tomorrow, just make sure to explain yourself well and then tell her that you thought it was rude and unprofessional of her as a manager to hang up on you.

Let it go. If she brings it up, repeat exactly what you said to her on the phone.
BTW, the bottle flu isn't a valid excuse, best to blame it on a 24 hour virus.
It won't hurt if you still look a bit green around the gills. Throwing up in her trash can works too.

Let it go.
Also consider when did you shift start? Did you give her adequate notice that you wouldn't be in?
If your office is like mine if someone doesn't come in we have to find someone who can take the shift or break it apart so no one gets too much overtime.

It sounds like she was being friendly about it anyway. If she was just aggravating you, then let it go. I would even laugh about it. If she was upset or was rude to you, I might mention it. Otherwise, just smile and have a good day.
