Hopefully will work out ok.
Still think should of rang them up and had a chat. Then they can make the call. As someone else said , week 1 in and hopefully you learnt a lesson.
All the best though
If one of my team sent that , it would piss me off to be honest.
Thos saying sorry for the bad news , can I just confirm that it was an operation and all is ok . Nothing is terminal with your mrs "sister in law"
I honestly thought this may be a wind up to start.
sorry and to add , it was a neck operation with complIcations ( FOR A SISTER IN LAW) , what sort of counselling and support did you Mrs need all night for that , bit OTT ??
Not a valid reason I'm sorry to say
sorry to hear the bad news for your Mrs but after 1 week in a job , that isn't a viable reason to just skip work IMHO. Could of had some sleep and maybe been 2 hours late.
Employers call is harsh but maybe after week 1 they feel writing on the wall. Harsh call but you've made it easy for...
