'That's not a valid excuse': Employee calls in sick only to discover boss wrote them up for 'no call no show', they reports manager to HR in response

When working for a big corporation, 95% of the time HR is there for the company and the company alone. They don't really care how their employees feel within the workplace, all they care about is how everything affects and looks for the corporation.

This means that they are not in any hurry to help employees out if they have a problem, unless that problem can reflect badly on the company, only then are they extremely happy to help and make sure you don't go off and sue anyone you work with.

The employee here could have really gone off on their company after their manager refused to accept their call-in when they were sick. While they were on the phone with their manager, telling her they were too sick to come to work, their manager told them they were going to write it down as a 'no call no show'. Luckily, when the employee called HR, they were ready to back them up and stand up to the manager.
