As a portion of this sub probably saw, I started a new job (or didn’t start a new job) yesterday and was sent home for being 2 min late see the post here —> Original Post
I wanted to give you all an update and let you know I decided to go back in on the 2nd day today and made sure I was early and everything went smoothly for the most part. Said manager apologized for the harshness he showed in sending me home and said that he had dealt with other employees (sales reps) who were late that day.. and basically he just came off as a stickler about attendance. He said he it was nothing personal against me and that it was just business and that him and the GM think it’s unacceptable to be late even especially on my first day. He even showed me where employee parking was.
Though he was apologetic for his abrasiveness yesterday I’m still jaded about it. Jaded not by the fact that I was late but the fact that being late by 2 minutes was reason enough for him to send me home and do so in an abrasive demeaning way. So far my favorite thing about this job is that the Head HR lady is super cool and down to earth, props to her!
With that being said I’m still high tailing it outta here as SOON as I get an offer to work literally anywhere else.
If anyone here lives in the DC or VA area and your job or you know of a job that’s hiring please feel free to let me know.
