Nov 5, 2021 · Given the number of students who’ve (provably) lied about nearly everything else class-related, it’s hardly unreasonable to ask for proof if a student claims a family emergency. For example, I had a student claim “family emergency” because they went to a sibling’s house for the weekend, and the sibling had no internet.

Well, if they're calling it a "major family emergency" they are probably scared/frantic/not in a good place, even if you or I wouldn't be in the same situation, so I think it's safe to assume that it won't hurt to offer some kind words.

I'm glad to know that doctor's and nurses are able to write notes for family members missing work to help support this loved ones, and I hope this post helps people going through similar experiences in the future. Thank you all! On Wednesday my mother fell and broke her femur.

If a doctor is willing to help with that at least. Other than that, just speak with HR and explain what happened. Maybe you can garner some sympathy and get a day excused.

Jan 28, 2022 · So I took off today and yesterday for a family emergency (the family in question being my 8 month old kitten being very sick out of nowhere and like 2 separate emergency vet visits). And my boss emailed me asking to “please let …

Mar 14, 2019 · No this was out of line. If it was OP called off for 3 days leading up to or returning from a holiday that's one thing. This was a family emergency and it's sad the supervisor acted this way. I've supervised at my 4 other jobs as well as 204b at the post office and would never think to ask someone for proof on this at that time.

ER is family medicine on speed from what I've seen. Like 70% of the things I've encountered in an ED should have been handled by a PCP. Back pain for three months, runny nose, arm hurts, might be depressed, asthma is acting up... I've rotated through a suburban ED and a deep, deep urban ED where the trauma/burn had its own area.

Dec 30, 2023 · Family emergencies do happen, but I understand not wanting to get your hopes up. Tell him you hope everything works out OK with his family and to let you know when he wants to reschedule and then see what happens. If he keeps texting and wants to reschedule, great - if not, on to the next.

Dec 3, 2022 · OP and her kids showed theirs. If I was OP’s husband I’d be out the door. I would do just about anything for my family in an emergency and they have done the same for me. To not even be willing to skip a lunch or a random hangout is despicable. It shows just how little OP and her kids care about OP’s husband and how selfish they all are.
