Well my boss almost two or three times a week has a new excuse of not coming to work, I've heard everything from "I got a flat tire", "It snowed a lot more here then there", "My son in college is home sick I have to ensure he's drinking the right amount of fluids", "My son is exhausted from running track so I can't come in", "The heater in my car doesn't work" so many more I can't remember.
She's not the owner and the CEO of the company works over night hours so he doesn't get to see the crap she does everyday. She's supposidly one of his good friends that's why she got the job.
So today she comes in at 11:30am with her dog. (She's suppose to start at 8am with no e-mail or call in like she makes us do if we're running late)
So here's the story:
She said her dog refuse to let her leave her house this morning, so she brought him in hence why she was a few hours late. She stuck the dog in my inventory cage where my inventory parts picker is suppose to work. Well the dog barked the whole 5 minutes he was in there. So after the five minutes of the dog constantly barking (My inventory parts picker was getting annoyed) she went home with the dog and took a full PAID vacation day.
If I tried that, she would read me the riot act. When I called out of work the day after I worked there the day before for 18-20 hours to fix a problem with our server so our company can function, I get yelled at for not coming in.
