The father is my best friend and also a coworker – albeit a different position but same location.
Not much of a story.
Dude is 20 something, I’m 30 something, and apparently my 72 hour request to be literally one hour late doesn’t trump his constant 10-20 minutes late every goddamn day.
I do all the work and he sits in the office eating trail mix and bitching about freight orders, is never on time, and texts me like 10-20 minutes before our shift starts (we need two people by company policy to unlock a door) to let me know that traffic sucks or whatever garbage he spews.
I’ve never been late, I always wait for him because I am not a key holder and he is, and he’s always texting me that he’s “stuck in traffic” while I sit outside waiting.
The one time I ask for ONE HOUR. Three days in advance. He says no, because he has a count he has to do and if he has to stay until 5 instead of 4 his fiancé will freak out about having to watch their infant.
Would you report him or let himself get fired?
