My supervisor has it out for me.

OK so here's the deal, I called in sick yesterday and now my supervisor has it out for me, I've had the body aches really bad the last 2 days so tomorrow I'm going to see my doctor. My doctor will write me a note excusing me from work for yesterday and possibly this weekend if I'm contagious. How he is trying to nail me is saying that he has proof that I was up until 4am playing FFXI, I was up until 4am, because I couldn't sleep since I'd slept most of the day, with my doctor's note should I have anything to worry about?

It depends on where you work.

I work at a Hospital in the IT Help Desk.

Sorry, I wouldn't know about hospitals.I work with the UAW and a doctors note means nothing until you use up your regular days off and your getting ready to be fired.

I if I may ask, how does your boss know you were up that time?

lol that sucks, but I doubt they can fire you.

I thought I was going to be fired a few months ago, but I latered learned they can not unless you do not show up to work at all with no reason and have done like 20 times in the last six months. One of he members of uper managment does not like me and wanted be fired, but she could not because I've only missed one day in over a year! So she cant do anything about. haha

So my point is, more than likly they have a set number of days that you have to mess for them to be able to let you go. Unless of course you broke some other company policy or did something illegal. Which I some how doubt.

Now if your really worried about then just tell him the truth and have the doc. call him. That should clear it up, dont beat around the bush,; that will just piss him off even more.

But if you like that sort of thing then dont even bother with a doc. note. And perhaps send him a nice fax with a screen shot of you playing the game kicking his butt or something. lol

they can't fire you for not being able to sleep! you weren't feeling good, slept all day because of that, and then at night, since you slept all day couldn't sleep at night. So logically you tried to kill some time to tire yourself out. All you have to say is "when you sleep all day and can't sleep at night, dont you get up and kill some time before you go back to bed?" I wouldn't worry about it just tell him straight up that you couldn't sleep.

I work at a hospital also, they CANNOT fire you for not being able to sleep because you were recovering from an illness and were afraid to come to work so you went to the MD Office, you could've gotten more people sick by being at work! In my opinion you did them a favor by not being there, because you weren't a liability to the patients or other employees. I think they should be thanking you for being so curtious!

my .02cents

If he gives you a hard time about it, call you attorney general's office and report him for harrassment, make sure you email or tell the head of the department also (if he is the head, make sure you go above him if he rides you about this)

working for a hospital is a job and an honor you get to see patients and employees, and its just a great job I love working at Duke Medical Center, its fun and well never a dull moment!

That's no proof. Your box runs 24/7 & was idling... unless you were chatting up with him.
Hope your feeling better.

EDIT: So what was the outcome?
