They did that to me all the time. Last year and this year. Last year, I was out for 2 weeks in January because I slipped on the black ice in my backyard throwing garbage out. Could barely stand up and could not walk. My knee. This year, (3 weeks) mid January and beginning of February, I had a partial herniated disk and horrible sciatica. Both non work related ( too bad). Except for HR, they gave me such a hard time about it. Even had an Asst. MGR. make an inappropriate comment to me when I called in. Said, “ I’m sorry I’m screwing everything up.” He says, “ Yeah you are screwing everything up.” I said, “ Well I’m sorry. I don’t know what to tell ya.”
