Go to work.  You might need the sick day later on...

Yes, but it would have to be small claims court. Make sure you bring all the paper work you can muster up, especially your child's statement, the fact that the DA couldn't proceed.. and that you did indeed lose 2 weeks for work because of her. And some pay stubs to prove how much you would have made. Mention your feelings, how it embarrassed you at your work/or in front of your boss.(Don't dramatize it though, just mention)!\n\nYOU CAN SUE FOR SLANDER AND DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.- because you lost work because of her, I think your chances are very good. I wish you luck!

Well, you cannot back down now. There was a reason they asked you to help out and it would be absolutely wrong of you to not show up.\n\nJust go there and finish your shift - it's only 4 hours - the hours will zoom by and remember: sometimes it's okay to say "NO" when asked to help out. Your organization understands you have a life outside of work.

OK... first of all, you have what is known as a track record. It is not a sign of responsible behavior that in 4 years of work history, the longest period that you have held a job for has been 5 months. In fact, I used to be a manager, and if you came to me with an application that had that kind of work history, I would never hire you. You had a job, and a good one it sounds like, so "the economy is tough" is no excuse.\n\nSecond, you live with your father. It's his house, and you are an adult if you have been working for 4 years. So, he has no obligation to let you stay other than the fact that he loves you. I think that you could benefit from what my dad did - getting kicked out of the house. It'll make you grow up.\n\nThere are many that have it worse than you, plus they have kids to look after and no one to help them, and yet they manage - many without so much as help from the govt. Hmmm...\n\nIt only takes about $1000 (and you can even find cheaper) to buy a car that will get you back and forth to your job. That means that it shouldn't take you more than two months to have a car. Riding the bus is as safe as anything else, certainly much safer than the subways that many people have to take. You could also look into car pooling and taking a cab or finding a job you can walk or bike to.\n\nTime to get on your feet - the world is not going to wait on you - your Dad knows this and wants to see you be an adult.

Contact a lawer he hows you.  If you earned that vaction time last year and you gave your two weeks notice then they should pay you your vacation time.  Its yours not theres.

That isn't fair.  I would write everything down and take the issue to upper management or HR.  No matter what your job title, it is no reason to be treated that way. The quick vengeful solution would be to quit during a very busy time of day, but you have to make sure you will  be able to make do until you find another job.  Doing that won't look good for you when you apply for the next job though.  Just try to be patient for meanwhile.  I actually think this is the easiest time to look for a new job, especially in retail or any place that gets busy during the holidays.  Good Luck!!

Depends on where you work, and if your appointment was an emergency. Also depends on the fine print when you signed your application or any other documents. Even a statement on your application such as "_______ co. reserves the right to ________...., by signing you agree to all terms and conditions of employment at _________ co." can bind you to all kinds of rules that you dont know about unless you request all of the literature and actually read it. \n\nYou can't just bring a note and be excused, this isnt high school. employers can fire you for basically any reason, provided it isnt a reason based on discrimination. Even if they want to fire you because of a prejudice (such as race), they will just wait for you to make a mistake then use that one mistake in the report as your reason for being fired. And you cant dispute it because you cant prove otherwise.\n\nFor a lot of places, unless its a life or death emergency, if your absence isnt pre-approved (24 hours in advance usually), then it is counted as a no-show, regardless of whether you called. At plenty of places I've worked the handbook clearly states that after 3 unapproved or unexcused absences, it constitutes strict disapline (such as suspension) or termination of employment.\n\nDont even try to go to court, you arent likely to win. Even if you do win, you will most likely only win enough to pay off your lawyer, cuz it will take such a long time to win. Especially with large corporations, which usually have several lawyers and many loopholes in your employment contract to get them out of just such a situation.

Call your state's labor board for your rights.  Then proceed.  You can appeal their statement to the unemployment board stating your reasons for missing so much work.

Id ask about it.  Most new employee paperwork says something to the effect of: "And anything else we ask you to do..." on it.  So you may have to attend.  That said, I'd tell him you are busy with pre arranged commitments you can't get out of.  Don't give details, just stop there. Ask him/her if it's 'required' to keep your job.  Just come out and ask.  Sadly though, it all really depends on what kind of boss you have.

Not trouble per se just consequences. Do you have sick leave? Are you frequently late or fail to show up at all? Did you call in to tell them that you were sick prior to work shift?Ask to see the Human Resources/company  guidelines in writing governing sick absences. Be professional!!! No yelling or screaming.Stick with the facts only. Request a review from the higher ups and/ or the Labor Board. Peace.

no. dont go. your job is more important than a party, which might not even be what you expected in the first place. There will always be more parties to go to later.

if you are thinking about it hard and if it makes you miserable, then yes. just give a 2 weeks notice so you will have a good reference. you should never stay in anything that makes you dread your life

Start a reward/recongition program for employees with perfect attendance. Alternatively, you could post a list showing who was absent so that everyone can see it. Or, make the employees feel bad about being absent when they return. Say, "I wish you would have been here yesterday, I really would have liked to have your input at our meeting."

Just a form?  Oh, wait until they want to meet with you!  \n\nI don't know enough about your situation to clearly advise you.  If you've been working, make sure you tell them that you have some kind of accommodations made so you can do the job.  Shorter hours, flexible hours, extra help from supervisor, whatever is believable and reasonably likely you have.  \n\nIf you're not working, you likely have nothing to worry about.\n\nWhen I was reviewed I was worried.  I have some good days and don't appear to have any problems.  And I've had a few part-time, temporary jobs.  It turned out that the interview was in the next city- and I didn't know my way around.  I got lost, almost didn't make it.  (If you don't make it you lose, they said- even though it makes more sense to me that if I can't organize my time enough and find the place that shows I couldn't do a job, right?)  Anyway- I got so stressed over the city traffic, getting lost, almost being late- I was a basket case when I went in.  That's all it took.\n\nThank goodness they didn't see me in a better situation.  A bad experience made the day overall a good day- as I kept my disability.
