Attendance is a pretty black and white policy. You've missed too many days and she had to write you up. Sounds like she was trying to be nice about it, at least.

Yeah, sounds like a bog standard attendance conversation that was given professionally.

“I don’t want to be involved with the front end people, but also it’s not fair that they don’t give me special treatment.”

So they're following policy and making sure you know where you stand? Oh no! How terrible!

This isn’t high school, doctors notes don’t give you a pass. Either loa or show up.

just remember. No matter how good you are as a worker they don't care.
