    Default Power tripping managers(warning long rant!)

    What is it with club managers that they can be on such a power trip?? I have to travel 3hrs to get to the club i work in so i go there on a thursday and stay in a hotel/with a friend, till sunday, working every night. (Im actually moving there to make life easier but thats another story.) So anyways, on Wed I realised that i was comin down with something and wasnt going to make it down so i called to let them know. Im always really reliable with my shifts and although Ive only been there 2 months I know Im one of the top earners.
    Anyways, so I called and for no apparent reason the manager was being deliberatly akward with me. First he told me that I would have to get all my shifts covered myself which is unrealistic as Ive only been there a short time and dont socialise with girls at work so am unable to call any and ask for cover. Then he told me that i would have to cover another 3 shifts the following week to make up for the shifts I was missing, which would mean me working 6 nights straight and having to pay nearly £400 in hotel fees alone!
    I tried not to argue with him but he was just being completely unreasonable and a general pain in the ass. He then tried to suspend me for 4weeks to, "recover from my illness!" At this I took a deep breath and said that I only had the flu and didnt need 4weeks I just needed the weekend off and that I would pay a fine for the nights I was missing. I then went on to say that I would gladly come into work looking and feeling like shit but I didnt think that I was a particular asset to the club in the state I was in. He finally agreed that he would see me the following week and he would discuss it with me then.
    I understand that management must get pissed off with girls booking and cancelling shifts but surely when your genuinly ill you dont deserve treatment like this??
    Sorry about the rant guys but Im feelin ill and sorry for myself and wanted to get it off my chest, this was just the last thing I needed. Do any of you have any power tripping managers?

    Get a medical certificate from a doctor this way he can't dispute your illness like you "made it up". I definately have dealt with power tripping managers over the years.... they feel that you need them more than they need you. Yeh, right. There are always options (as I'm forever learning).

    Take pics!!!! If you look and feel like crapola, show it to him.. Never know it might work.
    I recently had stitches and (not trusting management) took pics of it.. Unfortunately no one wanted to see the pictures, the doctor's note was enough.
    Hope it all works out for you.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    It sucks to have to deal with that kind of crap on top of being ill.

    I'll go with GCG on this one...get yourself a doctor's note/release to take back to work with you.

    Oh, and drink lots of water and get alot of rest. I hope you feel better soon!
