ORIGINAL: soul2share Morning all....... Hope everyone's day goes better than Phoenix's night.....man, that sux!!!! Isn't there a supervisor or something that you can take your issues to, Phoenix? Surely, if the scheduled folks don't want to come to work, then there are plenty of unemployed people that are trained to do the job that would! Not showing up for work is grounds for instant dismissal here in the states.....is it not there? I hope you get some sleep..... Thanks s2s, as mentioned to Holly's reply I don't know for sure yet that she was meant to come in, it also can be that she was on annual leave and that the manager wrote it wrong in the rota (though, I doubt). So if she screwed it up then it will be topic for supervision, I suppose and will be one mark on her file...regarding dismissal, over here people get away with a lot before they get dismissed....unfortunately. Certain folks come late to work on a regular basis, which is not someting with which they would survive their probation period in Germany. Recently a bloke came 5 minutes late (and did it again 1-2 weeks later in my next shift)...whilst 5 minutes isn't much for many people and I got used to it by now that many of my colleagues are like that and get away with it over here. So often I used to live with that habbit, however on the first occassion it did piss me off a lot, as those 5 minutes make the difference between getting the bus home and just missing it...and as sundays the service is limited I wasted my time sitting 20 minutes on the bus stop until the next one came... And regarding my comment that many come here late on a regular basis, most of the time its 15-60 minutes late...not just 5... And reg. supervisor or so, I left a note about it to the deputy and left a message on the phone to the manager (what a surprise, last night I wasn't able to leave a message on her phone, now at daytime I could....what a "coincidence" *snort*). The problem is just that at 10pm there is nothing you can do. You can't just leave as then you are in trouble yourself for leaving them alone and at that time you are unlikely to find cover to jump in. So you just have to get on with it once you calmed down about it.... However, i am at home now. I will tidy up now a fair bit and do some paper work which needs to get done and in the next days I will put pics from summer, merlin and urmel on flickr page...that way its easier to show their picks
