Smitty :
We had a lady who was late every morning. To the point where we would call her to see her eta and our call would wake her up. I wasn’t management, I was just the office manager’s assistant, but this lady was a hard worker, good at her job, and was preferred by several customers. I knew she was struggling at home. Her son was 20 yrs old and had 3 babies with 3 different women, they were all leaving the babies with him who would then disappear once she got home, leaving her to care for them herself. Her husband refused to help her in any way, so she was also providing for her grandkids. Essentially like a single mom, but without access to any assistance because she didn’t have custody. Her son would steal her car while she was asleep and leave her with no gas. She had health problems, her eyes were yellow and she was completely exhausted all the time. I honestly don’t know how she managed to show up for work at all. She was there every single day, just 30 mins-1 hour late. There were several things we could have done to make it work for her, and I suggested them, but the office manager bought her an alarm clock 🙃 And the boss eventually fired her. It’s funny, though. They ended up asking her to come back. They didn’t realize the weight she was pulling.

Ours are structured to not allow that to fall under it. Cancer or sickness.

what about self responsibility and figuring out why YOU are late and getting the help YOU need? I dont see how this is something your manager should have to get involved in. if they think of it and want to share the resources sure great but going as far as saying they aren't doing their job correctly for not sharing every resource there is based on a you problem seems extreme. i have never been a manager and I have struggled with tardiness so I feel like im a good person to speak on this. too much coddling.

This is gray! Companies have a business to run. Example, schools, if you struggling to be on time at work, how are the kids learning? It affects the kids too. “Trouble sleeping sounds like a personal issue, they work 9-5,

I have a point system you get 10 when to get hired lose 1 ore 1.5 or 0.5 depending on how late you get, you get 2 a month if you are o time or don’t call in, if you get below 8 you’re verbally disciplined, 6 it’s documented and below that you are in risk to get fired

My ADHD coworker is always late for work. Her supervisor warned her for her tardiness and possible discipline if it continued. I was the one who told her about ADA accommodation. Her supervisor didn’t and only threatened to write her up.

I hope my employe that’s always late doesn’t see this she just found more reasons of why she’s late besides traffic and had to go back to get her phone especially when most of the time she is late it’s poor time management are she needs to leave them gym earlier so she can get to work on time!!
