work gripe

I called work to let them know about my surgery date. The new schedule had come out and I am scheduled to work August 9th and 10th. Since this interferes with my surgery, I started trying to find coverage for the weekend. I called five coworkers before reaching someone who agreed to take my shifts for me. Immediately after hanging up the phone, I emailed my supervisor to give her the heads up of the schedule change. I breathed a sigh of relief and went to bed.

I woke up this morning and checked my email to see if my supervisor had gotten back to me yet - she had not. I was making lunch when I heard the pinging of my laptop alerting me of a new email. It was an email from my supervisor saying that the coverage I found was not acceptable and I'd need to find an alternative.

Since I exhausted all my options in my first attempt, I'm not sure how I'm going to find a suitable solution the second time around. I'm so frustrated.

Good Luck on your surgery! It seems so unfair that your supervisor is doing this though. It's not like you're asking for extra vacation days to spend on a beach somewhere, you're having surgery! I hope it all gets worked out soon.
