[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally if you have to miss a lot or have to miss soon after starting, you give a reason why.

I've been at my law firm for two years, and when my sister's dog got sick, I took a total of three days off. One when she was in the hospital, one the day before she ultimately wound up being put to sleep, and one the Monday after she'd been put to sleep.  I was crying at work all the time - I was in no shape.  But I HAD vacation time saved up. I just said it was a relative facing their death who I was very close to - I didn't say it was a dog.

If you're missing time because friends came to town and you want to take off time to see them, yeah I'd fire you. If you're missing time because your mom just died or you need surgery, I wouldn't fire you but I'd be watching closely to make sure you come in on time, don't leave early or take long lunches, etc.[/quote]

will be working as Chief Election Officer.  We have election in every year in Virginia.   [/quote]

So you knew this before you started an didn’t discuss it upfront.  And then dealt with in via email, rather than discussing in person?   Yeah—you have a problem. [/quote]
