Re: Random Thoughts
I'm on salary, but I still get here 20+min before to run through any red alert emails or address any issues with the building. For the most part I burn out emails through my phone during commercial breaks at home so I don't end up having 47 emails with people not knowing what to do until a decision is made.
I suppose what I was getting at is the lack of taking responsibility for your own actions. When I was on the clock and worked on the floor I would be 10-ish min. early for the most part. A lot of what I'm seeing now is no one is willing to accept fault of their own bad decisions.
This one usually comes up around winter / snow / ice days. We have a 10 point system. You reach 10 points, it's termination. You're late, that's 1/2 a point. You're out that's 1 whole point.
So what'll happen is you'll get the "system riders" get up to 7/8/9 points with frivolous tardys for 1-3 minutes late with a few Friday / Monday call outs. Doesn't take much for points to accumulate in a ROLLING calendar year. So they'll be at 9 points within the first 3 or 4 months of the year....
So then one day their 500$ car won't start in the morning that they've been having to get jumped at work a few times and they're late / can't get to work. Boom. You're done. So the first thing they do is say "You're firing me cuz my car wouldn't start?!?!!? THATS HORSESHIT!!!!!"
Sadly, it's the 30-40 year olds that do this....the young bucks jus say **** it and go to their 8th job this year.
