Received an AWOL

So backstory I asked at 12:19 can I shut down my computer. I waited for an answer like I have always done since 2023 with this person. Nothing has changed of how I have done things. I waited for her response to say yes, it’s OK or have the leads tell me it’s OK to shut down while waiting for the AOK to shut down my computer. I was checking why my electronic medical records would not let me sign or do anything I checked because I was working on Google Chrome so I was like OK why isn’t this working so then I checked on Microsoft edge I was thinking something is wrong and I was still waiting for her to respond. Well, I finally gave up and went ahead and shut down and said forget it that was some time around 12 something I don’t know I don’t. I can’t really tell you I know it was after 12:19, but if that crew called my supervisor and the leads, actually really paid attention to when I was online and when I shut down, they would see when I really shut down. but they ran my VPN and said oh 1219 to 1249 that was a 30 minutes that you were missing no I wasn’t missing. You knew exactly where I was because you gave thumbs up at 12:50 30 minutes later that it was OK for me to shut down. You waited 30 minutes to let me know it was OK for me to shut down but by then now I said. by 1250 I was back up and on the phones. By the way, my break is technically the last break is from 1245 to one. I did not take my last break except for four minute. she marked me AWOL from 12:19 to 12:49. She gave me a thumbs up at 12:50 that it was OK for me to go and shut down my computer. Yes, I have the Union involved. I am informed her when I found out what was going on because that was the only thing I could do when I found out it was Google fiber so that’s when I informed her it wasn’t anything to do with my computer or my Internet it was something to do with my neighbors who was getting their Google fiber in and they cut their wire or whatever happened and that’s what happened to me. But I kept her informed the best I could. you see another back story as I took her to HR before we had the Union back supposedly but we really did have the Union back. It was just not well known because well she denied my FMLA so I’m thinking this was and still is retaliation and now because I took her to HR and then she took me to HR. I have now a reprimand on that and have a meeting today at 3 o’clock and I’m frightened. I didn’t do anything wrong. I spoke to one of the worklife people. They told me that she can’t deny FMLA and I told her she did. I have an appointment and yet that worklife person ended up, calling her boss, and I got yelled at by her boss instead of the work her boss lied about his title everything but yet I get reprimanded and so guess what I am getting yelled at braided by this guy get told of his title but his title he falsified and everything but yeah, I’m the one in trouble and I’m the one that he lied about that said, I bully my boss and harassed my boss, but yet no no no no I’m not doing that she’s doing that because if you could see what I see right now wow it’s like wow so many people does this supervisor I don’t know why or how we can if any idea how our leadership can get our supervisor to calm down or change attitudes or something because we have so many people that say she is mean and she is very bitter woman it would be great. It would be nice because I’m sure in a long run she could be a good person.

AWOL advice

At 12:19 my computer started slowing down for whatever reason didn’t know so I was checking my EMR. I’m both chrome and Microsoft iMessage course who I was supposed to message. I messaged my supervisor and leads I said may I please shut down my computer. As I’m waiting for the answer yes thumbs up something. I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on. Why is it slow? I can’t answer my phone on Genesis. I hate that by the way, it’s new Phone system and I’m like OK well I gave up waiting because I just don’t shut down my computer without permission . Well I gave up not sure what time it was when I decided to shut down, but it was probably a little after 1220 something I ended up taking my phone and texting my next-door neighbor saying what is going on is Google fiber in our neighborhood? Well, at that moment, I didn’t think picking up my phone and stupid me not texting my supervisor. I did say it on Teams saying OK it’s Google fiber in our neighborhood which I should’ve done. I got up why my computer was booting back up because I thought really something was wrong. I was waiting for my next-door neighbor to tell me if it was Google fiber or not and then when they responded saying yes, Google fiber is here. My computer was booting back up and I got back on teams and said it’s Google fiber or next thing I know. But however in my defense she never asked me nor did the leads asked me Hey what’s going on with your computer? All she did was give me a thumbs up and a thumbs up was 30 minutes later so remember I asked at 12:19 can I shut down my computer at 12:50 she’s the one who gave me a thumbs up next thing I know I’m back online answering calls and she’s like can you put 30 minutes in you were gone from 12:19 to 12::49 granted my last break it is from 1245 to 1 o’clock but that’s either here or there. Then she says you need to put in 30 minutes of your time. I didn’t really leave my desk actually I did not leave the room. I just got up from the desk to see if there was a Google contractor truck or car or something. That never left the office sat back down and started loading back up and never left the room and she counted me as an AWOL. I mean this lady I’m telling you this is retaliation from a previous March 11 incident that I’m going through starting Thursday and this this has destroyed my mental health everything and yes, I see a psychiatrist but they ended up going on vacation and canceling this month appointment. I mean she used to talk to me kind of she is evil seems she’s out to get at least eight of us. She has had two EEO’s and it’s like this is such a hostile environment. It’s just and they will not move me to another team it’s sad. What do I do? I mean I have the Union beside me and we’re gonna fight this but it’s sad. This was Google fiber not me. I paid my bill.
