Had a boss who was subsequently fired, who got on my ass one day because I was 100 miles away from my home city. Told her straight up on the phone I was taking care of some things for my elderly mother.
"Why didn't you tell me( ask permission) you were taking Friday off? A day here and a day there has people not getting their work done on the company dime"
" I did not call you this past Saturday when I went in and supported frontline folks that were in a bind. I don't call you and check in every time I do extra work. I was caught up for the week and knew this would not be an issue. If you are going to nickel and dime me on my time away from work, I'll start keeping track of it closer, and trust me, the company will lose. I work a shitton of extra time with no complaints, but if that tide is changing, I will adjust."
dead silence.
Six months later she was relieved of her duties. Everyone just fucking hated her.
