There's been a lot of activity in this thread
So.. my supervisor fucked up big time on Saturday. He owns a Martial Arts studio (which is the reason for 90% of the issues here.. as his focus is there and NOT here). He had a tournament on Saturday. A couple of the guys from my work went to help him set up, run it, and clean up. Including the guy who was my relief on Saturday.
A call came in at 10AM from this guy. He spoke with the other dude working with me and told him that "he was calling in sick" and that (Our Supervisor) already knew about it and okay'ed it. Well, our rule of thumb has always been that if you are calling in sick and it's NOT an emergency, you have to call around and see if you can find someone to cover the shift. If you can't find anyone, management steps in and works it a solution (Overtime. As we can NOT leave the place understaffed).
I get the message that the dude called out maybe 5 minutes after he called, and I try calling him back. My calls get rejected. So I call our Supervisor. No Answer.
The way I found out that this dude was with our supervisor basically is from the dude who came in to cover part of the shift. He's a close friend, who used was actually going to go hang at the studio, but wound up not doing so. He had asked one of the guys there who all was there out of curiosity... And then after he agreed to cover the shift, asked who he was covering. I told him. Then he told me that that dude was with our Supervisor.
Fast forward to today. I got to work at 2:50 PM. 10 minutes early. I was relieving my supervisor, and was going to pull him aside and talk to him about it. As soon as I drove up, he took off. So by the time I parked and walked in, he was long gone. So now I am just arranging a time to have a conversation with OUR boss (The owner of the company) about it.
