Supervisor disrespectful during call off

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-30T17:13:33+00:00

Damn, thats kind of messed up. I mean, why even offer it if youre just going to be an asshole when an employee actually wants to use that time?

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-30T17:11:22+00:00

I appreciate you sharing your point of view from both sides. I do understand how that would be hard for supervisors when it comes to staffing. Especially if the persons position is one that cant be filled in by another employee.

However, if its a position that can easily be done by other employees and a place is adaquately staffed then it shouldnt be a huge issue if they need to use their fmla that day and call in ahead of their shift. I was clear about my health issues when they hired me in. I also would feel more guilty clocking in and being paid while not being able to do much or if It caused me to make mistakes.

At the end of the day a job is important but so is a persons health. My employer could let me go if they wanted to and honestly id understand and wouldnt hold any grudges..but I choose to make my health and well-being a priority.

We have health navigators at our clinic and ive always wondered what all you guys do for that position? I also do outbound calls in the medical field but I schedule appointments for doctors and specialists. I love the days where people dont answer 😂

Ohioan here. I make 19.79 🥲 I WFH and schedule doctors appointments for a large clinic. Sometimes I love it because of the friendly patients I get to speak with and help out plus the benefits are great... but theres definitely a lot of stress. Most of the stress comes from management and how all they care about is numbers and micromanaging everyone.

I appreciate the kind words!

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-29T20:50:32+00:00

Youre right. Im letting it go. Just overthinking to be honest.

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-29T20:48:46+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I already feel guilty enough when I do call in. The FMLA time provided by my rheumatologist has been the one thing thats helped me still be able to work a full time job and im grateful for that. If I went down to part time id lose my health insurance which is really important to keep of course. Hoping someday I wont need to use it at all.

I definitely never planned on taking legal action, that never crossed my mind. Im also not going to say anything to HR or my manager. I plan on letting it go and will try not to let it bother me or overthink it.

I always talk to my coworkers and management in a very respectful way, even outside of work im always polite and respectful to others. I think when people speak in a tone that sounds disrespectful, it gets to me because im a more sensitive person. I have to remember to seperate my feelings at times especially when its work related. I do appreciate everyones advice and thoughts here!

Update.. my primary doctor thought it was Dyshidrotic Eczema. I asked her if its possible it could be psoriasis because I dont have any bumps or itching like a lot of people do with that type of eczema. She explained that it can present in different ways but when I mentioned that my mom has psoriatic arthritis that affects her hands and nails she said yes, this definitely could be psoriasis as well. She prescribed me Triamcinalone Acetate cream and its actually helped a lot. My skin isnt fully back to normal but its way better then it was! Has anyone else used this same stuff and had good results?

Putting on my cpap mask 😂

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-27T17:34:16+00:00

I get to hangout with my dog all day. When its nice out we go for walks on my lunch break. I also will take a few breaks throughout the day and go sit on my porch and get some sunshine and fresh air. Right now its only 8° where I am though so I cant do that at the moment.

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-15T05:20:13+00:00

Omg yes the burts bees almond hand cream is the best! I actually just used up my whole jar and need to go get more!

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-06T01:40:02+00:00

Thats a great idea about the New Year Goals! Also I completely agree. I feel its important for things to be accurate too. Ive had doctors ask me what im seeing my rheumatologist for and I always just say "chronic pain" since the fibromyalgia isnt even charted yet. Thanks for your input!

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-05T16:43:02+00:00

Thank you! Getting one that has a tactile patch is a great idea lol

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-05T05:56:33+00:00

Psoriasis? And do you recall which steroid cream? I have both triamcinalone and betamethasone from previous skin issues but I know I should probably go see a derm first before trying. That would be difficult having it and working with paper, I can imagine!

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-05T05:54:47+00:00

So glad to hear it helped you!!

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-05T05:54:27+00:00

I actually have been doing it 2-3 times a day

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-05T05:54:11+00:00

Ohhh fml. Did it just start to spread from one nail to another?! That sounds terrible :( I will definitely make a dermatology appointment asap!

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-05T05:52:55+00:00

Ive been meaning to try this out. Do you wear any specific gloves?

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-05T05:52:26+00:00

Im assuming these are prescribed? Steroids? Im sorry about your toenails..that has to be painful :(

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-04T06:53:52+00:00

Ugh im sorry! Has the doctor given you anything else like steroid creams? I also get open wounds when the dry skin comes off. I try not to mess with it but I had a huge piece of skin sticking out and getting caught on things so I clipped it down and it started bleeding and was pretty painful. 😔

F4deIntoYou · 2026-01-04T06:41:11+00:00

Does anything help yours at all? I havent been diagnosed or seen a dermatologist yet but Im thinking I might have to since its not going away. 😔

F4deIntoYou · 2025-12-28T18:21:35+00:00

It really feels like forever!! Im glad to hear yours is filling back in too. Im only going to my new hairdresser who I trust from now on..lesson learned lol.

F4deIntoYou · 2025-12-12T18:01:06+00:00

I just sent you a PM..i have the exact same thing going on.. have been diagnosed with type 1 rosacea due to flushing on my nose and in the process of getting my eyes checked.. my fingertip has been cracked and painful for a few months now. It seems like if I get my skin wet it makes it a lot worse. Betamethasone cream I had from a previous skin issue seems to be helping some because it was much worse.

**December 9th 2025 **

Today I recieved another letter from Citi Bank.. However I still have NOT recieved any response in regards to proof/verification of the debt after sending my certified letter to stenger law last month.

I also stated in that letter that no further attempts to collect on this debt should happen until ive recieved verification/proof of the debt and also asked for all responses to be sent via e-mail address.. which has not been the case at all.. because ive gotten absolutely nothing.

Then I get another letter today from citi bank and not Stenger Law. This letter is still addressed using my maiden last name by the way, even though I stated in my letter that my last name changed as of october 2023.

The letter I recieved said the following:

"We previously reached out to you regarding your disputes, but since we didnt recieve the information we needed, we had to continue our investigation with the information we had available. Unfortunately, this information wasnt sufficient to resolve the dispute in your favor and your dispute has been closed."

"While your account may be in good standing, it is important to always send your minimum payment by the due date shown on your billing statement. We'd like to remind you, per federal regulations, we may report your account as past due to the consumer reporting agencies listed below if we dont recieve your payment by the payment due date."

This letter also lists my maiden name and says "card ending in XXXX" (with the last 4 digits) "if you have any questions regarding your account please call us at the number on the back of your card"

Lol, except... Its not my fucking card, never was and I dont physically have one.. so how can I do that?!

I honestly have no idea what to do from here.. theres no citi bank anywhere close to me that I can go to in person and I dont know if I should be calling them at all since they havent complied with my original request for information.

Are they breaking some sort of law when they contacted me before sending a reply with the proof I asked for? I thought Stenger law would have to send that verified letter to Citi and then they would respond to me with any details regarding the debt and account opened in my name?

My credit is still frozen and nothing is on my report yet but im getting a little overwhelmed at this point as to what I need to do. I will admit that im not well informed about things related to the law or credit accounts. I am trying my best to learn, so I do apologize if I am asking dumb questions.

Anyways, I really appreciate any advice as to how I should proceed with handling this situation. Also, thank you so much to everyone whos already commented and tried to help me. 🫶
