ok, so my friend finally gets a week off work, and made plans to go out of town. her supervisors decided to plan a mandatory meeting the week that she plans to take off work, but she already told them she couldn't make it in that week because shes headed out of town. but her boss/supervisors still claimed that she was expected to come in, despite the fact that she told them she couldn't make it, because shes just headed out of town and not out of the state. but from where shes headed its over an hour drive! she even asked several times if they could change the date, and claimed she could come in then, and they refused. that's ridiculous that they're expecting her to come in when it's her week off and she's out of town. i mean they also explained they wanted her to come in because she missed the last meeting, but still they shouldn't expect her to come in when she obviously can't make it. now she's going to have to rearrange all her plans with her family and friends over one stupid meeting. so i told her "this is crap!" and left it at that. so, what do u guys think? has your job tried to enforce any unreasonable expectations on you?

Yeah, my job likes to call me five minutes before I need to be there when I was supposed to be off. >.< But, what are you going to do? You have to do it. :/

For the longest time I only had like one to two days off.
And they'd call me on my days off to work. x.x

I don't have a job. >.< bite me.
I have school, but it's summer.. so yea it's vacation. 2 months. ;D

That sucks. But isn't it her week off or something. That's unfair. . . i would quit her job immediantly [ i cannot spell lol ] if it was mine.

lol, yeah i know. i mean the whole reason she took the week off was so that she can go out of town. and now she may have to cancel the whole trip because of 1 meeting. seriously, the drive is way too long. i mean if she decided to drive the same distance south instead of driving north, she would wind up in another state. she might as well be out of state anyways, so to expect her to drive all the way back for a meeting i think is ridiculous. not to mention that the place where she works is small. there's not that many people working there, so if there are no conflicts, they can easily schedule the meeting to an earlier week. i feel really bad because she hasn't seen her family in months, and now she may not see them at all because of this.

My job doesn't make me do unreasonable things.. The owner is just an a**. He's a binge drinker and recently he took 10 hours off my paycheck and when I said that he did he said he'd "look into it" and I doubt he's gonna.

Maybe threaten him with the labor board? XD
