This is lengthy, but now that you all are my friends, I have to vent.
For starters, I am a supervisor on my job. I am short-staffed as it is, but one of my team leaders (who has been with me for 10 years) was expecting her first grandbaby, so I gave her 2 weeks off to help (stay w/them the entire 2 weeks) her D-I-L and son.
Her D.I.L. has post partum depression. V, my team leader, returned to work y'day for the first time. She showed up today, an hour late, right in the middle of the busiest part of the day. She was bawling and said she wouldn't be here today, B (D.I.L) was going to the doctor--she is sooooo depressed. She also said she didn't know when she'd be back--she's gonna try to take FMLA leave.
I am pissed!!!!!!!!!!!! I really need her and was kind enough to grant her the time off--even tho I didn't have to b/c we're so short-staffed--and now she is freaking out and doesn't want to work.
I don't have children so I don't know if I'm wrong in how I feel. I think B is a grown woman, a parent and needs to deal w/it on her own. In fact, she has gotten up w/the baby only 1 time!!
I'm thinking V is kinda taking over the situation and won't let B have the alone time w/the baby she needs. B was soooooooo excited to become a mother and had tried for a while to get pregnant.
Anyway, I have it off my chest and actually do feel better.
Atleast until tomorrow.
