Even though this person is on their last write up for it. My co worker is really great, when they are at work. They are helpful and knowledgeable. But they are late so much, and they are not reliable.
Last month they were late 14 times. They over slept and been a no show no call but somehow they still have this job. Yesterday, they said they were gonna be late so I had to hurry out of my house to get to work early to cover. My other co worker wasn’t feeling well and was hoping to have our late co worker come in so she can leave. That didn’t happen. My boss finally asked when they were coming in, they said they were on their way. An hour and half later, they didn’t show up. Boss texted her saying it was ridiculous. Then they said they had car troubles and couldn’t come in. I convinced my sick co worker to go home because they looked horrible. I worked by myself and it was really difficult.
Today, I had to cover for not only my sick corker, but the chronically late one too. They said they had car trouble and needed a mental health day. They were scheduled to work tomorrow, they said they would come in, but my boss asked me to work since this person is not reliable obviously. So now, I’m working tomorrow even though I originally had it off. My boss was really annoyed and shared how frustrated she was but I don’t think my worker is going to get fired. I honestly think she should be. It sucks because they are great at the job when they show up. But I can’t deal with this anymore. I would rather be short staffed for a bit and find someone who is more reliable.
But, I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
