Internet Irate, Mother Written-Up At Work For Attending Son's Emergency Surgery


This mother was written up for attending her son's emergency surgery, and the company she works for has drawn the ire of the internet. It all came to a head when her son notified her on a Friday that he was going in for surgery on his ACL the following Wednesday and would need someone to care for him. His mother wanted and needed to be that person. 

She works as a dental hygienist and attempted to give the workplace notification of her need to take time off the following week. Her work refused to let her take leave and so she opted to take the time unpaid. That should have been the end of it, but when she returned to work she was given this disciplinary note.

The thread and image of the note was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by the son, who is outraged on his mother's behalf. 

Commenters are outraged as well and have been blasting the dentists office where she works and telling her to quit her job.
