So, I work in a group home with mentally/physically disabled adults. They have 24 hour staff. But there is only one staff on per shift. I work 3p-10p 3 days a week. There is a woman who comes in after me to work 10pm-8am. The problem is she is NEVER on time. She relieves me 2x a week. And the other woman that relieves me once a week is also always late. I've been working here for 3 years and it has been going on for that long and this past Monday night was the first time I got upset and said something. Her excuse you ask? She came in ten minutes early on Sunday so its ok for her to come in late on Monday. My argument? Well, I didn't ask her to come in early and I never do. It's her choice to come in early but it's not my choice to stay late. (She is late 4 out of 5 shifts and maybe comes in ten minutes early twice a month.) She didn't call to tell me she was going to be late, she rarely does. She calls at 10:10 or 10:15 and says "I'm just pulling in the parking lot now, sorry!"
So, now she's mad at me cos she thinks I have no right to be mad. I say I just want her and the other person to come in on time. I'm not asking them to come in early. Just on time.
This other person you ask?? Well, she came in an hour ten minutes late the other night. This is the first time she has done this to me but she is infamous for doing this to other people. I was pretty pissed off to say the least. Her excuse? She came in 30 minutes one week so its ok for her to come in late whenever she wants.
Am I crazy?? Is it really that unreasonable to want someone to come to work on time? Especially because I CANNOT leave until someone gets there.
