It's more like you work on commission and there are 29 other companies that do what you do. You make far and away the most money for your boss (and at your position you made more money than anyone on the team since the 1950s or so) and it's reasonably known you're underpaid and have a contract renew coming up in a year. You were not expected to make any sales on Friday because it's a holiday so you don't bother to show up at the office to do those stupid little things like straighten your pencil.
A smart boss would ask you how your day off was.
A stupid boss lets it be known he's miffed.
Even Bill Belichik let guys have days off. They weren't even injured. No way on Earth he treats a banged up Brady like this when he wasn't expected to play. No way.
Just curious, but have you ever been a manager at your job, before? I mean, if you have and that's how you run your department, that's fine I suppose. Otherwise, your post just comes off as idealistic.
See, I'm sure MOST bosses aren't against letting their employees have the day off here and there, especially when they've had a good few weeks. However, I'm also sure MOST bosses don't like their employees taking a day off unannounced. FWIW to say, my company has an official policy against that; as in, it officially counts against you. Even during the snow days, we had to use time off if we weren't coming in; thankfully being 5 minutes away I was able to come in and not have to waste my time off.....and sometimes we actually got to go home early.
Anyways, I digressed. Whatever happened with Rondo, I'm not so much bothered about the event but the fact it was leaked. Does that mean Rondo messed up bad? Who knows. Personally, if Rondo did request to not have to go to the game but was denied, eh, make plans after. I imagine Rondo not having to play meant he wouldn't have to be in front of a mic post-game for too long, if at all. Of course this assumes he'd even be denied if he really did request.
If he just didn't request anything and was supposed to, well hmm, why? Did he infact just "forget"?
Either way, I'm not gonna pretend that this signaled the end of the world, no one's perfect if this was infact just a communication breakdown, happens at my job too, shocker. But I will ask Rondo to keep it real; if he really did just stand up the team, then he has to know better. If it was just a "well I told him but not him", then he has to know who to ask.
I'm hearing people say Doc didn't make this out to be a big deal, but without all the facts, I can't be sure what that really means. So KG could just wake up, take a game off, and not tell Doc beforehand? I need that clarified as opposed to simply implied. Cause I wouldn't be surprised if there was a little confirmation bias just to have Rondo's back on this.
