[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you had complaints of people being retaliated against for taking time off (eg) for medical problems, pregnancy, etc. How did HR handle it? What was the resolution?[/quote]

Nope, not really. I've heard whispers of bitching here and there, and a few work-friends have complained to me. But when I've asked "is this a formal complaint to HR or are you bitching to a friend right now?" I always get told it's just complaining to a friend. There was a young girl having diabetes complications and honestly, she was SO sweet that everyone was very kind about pitching in to cover her.

There have been other situations where it hasn't gone as smoothly, usually when someone is either widely disliked or there was no notice before they took time off. I'm a fan of heading off problems by reminding people of what's expected of them, rather than waiting to find out they didn't and someone's having problems because of that. "You updated Kelly on how you've been handling that project you took over while she was out, right? Because part of handling it is giving it back in a way where she can pick it back up..." [/quote]
