📖🖋️ Write Ups 🤬

Ever been written up for absenteeism… even with a doctor’s note?

Yeah. That one hits different.

You do the right thing.

You follow procedure.

You bring documentation.

And somehow… you’re still the problem.

This is where people lose trust in leadership.

Policies matter — but fairness matters more. When medical documentation is ignored, it sends a clear message:

➡️ “We care more about coverage than people.”

For leaders (especially leading former coworkers):

• If there’s a doctor’s note, there should be a conversation — not a write-up

• Policy should guide decisions, not replace judgment

• Respect is built by how you handle gray areas

For workers:

• Document everything

• Communicate early and in writing

• Don’t let unfair discipline define your value or work ethic

A write-up in this situation isn’t about attendance.

It’s about broken process and poor leadership.

And moments like this are exactly why strong workers eventually become better leaders — because they remember how it felt.

💬 Ever dealt with this? How was it handled where you work?
