Minor employee calls out of work due to their dad being in the hospital, manager insists they come in anyway: ‘What part of ‘family emergency’ did you not understand?’

Do you get nervous when you find yourself having to call your boss and tell them you can't come to work?

Even if one has a perfectly good reason for calling out, for some reason, that conversation might make one a bit uneasy, like they're doing something wrong. Maybe this experience only happens to those of us who also had perfect attendance in school, or never missed a day of college. For other people, having to tell their boss they can't come to work is not a big deal whatsoever. They do it, get the okay, and move on with their lives. They don't think anyone hates them, and they definitely do not think they are going to get fired, stuff that constantly crosses the minds of those who dread these sorts of calls.

If you have a family emergency, you shouldn't feel bad if you cannot come to work, and any normal boss would agree with this statement. However, if you are a person who constantly misses work, your boss might not believe you when you have an actual reason to not be there, and that can lead to a real threat to your job.

It seems like the employee in the story below, who is just a teenager, has no problem calling their boss and telling them they have to miss work. The problem is, they've done it so much that their boss no longer believes them when they provide an excuse.
This problem only grows bigger when the employee had to drive with their father to the hospital, but was told by their boss to still have to come in to work.
