I thought I would start a thread that deal's with everyday stupidity and unusual event's that happen during the day that sometime's get over looked in the other thread. I will start. :msp_ohmy:
So, I got a good groundie that used to alway's be 1 minute late. I put the hammer down and told him I would write him up if he is not in the yard by 6:30am.
That was about a year ago. Since then, he has been wrote up about 8 time's.
The first time was when I enforced this and he came in the yard at 6:31am.
I wrote him up for being late and his response was, "Only a minute"!
So I asked him if he was late, and he said,"only a minute!"
Clueless! He understand's that if he is gonna be late to call me before time. He also called ahead of time of being late alot, like he understood.
So,I fax the write up to the corporate office and the owner called me and asked why I wrote him up for being 1 minute late. Thought it was kinda harsh.
So I asked what define's being late? He agreed with me.
Anyway, fast forward to yesterday. It is 6:35am and no show or call. So I call him. Ring's alot and goes to voice so I hang up and changing crew size. Not 1 minute later he calls me and say's,"What?"
I asked, "Where are you and you are late."
He said," I just woke up. I will be there in 5 minute's."
So he show;s up 15 minute's later and I told him I had to write him up for being late.
He said that was un-fair because he was asleep and could not call in, because he was asleep!
Really?
Really!
"How can I call in if I am asleep?"
Really?
Yeah.
He declined to sign the write up and went into the office at the end of the day to complain that he was un-fairly wrote up for not calling in because he was asleep!
Really!
