I had orientation for a brand new job yesterday. The orientation was 2 hours away and my company required me to bring photo ID, my original college degree, social security card and vaccine proof.
When I left, the HR representative and I both realized she still had all these documents. I was already on the turnpike.
She said she would FedEx the documents to my home Express delivery but that I was cleared for work.
Problem is, she clicked the checkbox on the FedEx delivery that says “signature required and photo ID age 21 or older.”.
I don't have a photo ID. It's in the package.
I was supposed to start work today. Now the company is angry because I called off since I have no photo ID since I have to sit home to sign for the package that is coming to my house to get my photo ID back.
I'm driving a company vehicle on the job. They are angry because I refused to work today without a license.
How do they have a right to be pissed off at me in this circumstance?
