Hi Mark Bryan ! I unfortunately have read many posts by Jobcasers where their employers were less than supportive when they needed to care for a loved one. I think the key is before you even apply to that job to establish the culture and how that company will treat you. If you are already working somewhere and well established check on your company's out of office policy and also see what their policy is on sick children and emergencies. Providing a doctor's note can be helpful as well to your employer as well as keeping them informed!
