Just wondering what the late policy actually is and why it isn't enforced. My roommate started working here a couple of years after I was hired. Within the last year, she has been late at least 25 times, with no reason other than she slept through her alarm. She usually blames it on her phone not working, but I hear her alarm and she shuts it off and goes back to sleep. I guess I'm surprised she hasn't been fired yet, especially after our HR told us they were going to be cracking down on the late policy.
Now, before anyone asks why I never wake her up for work, I used to. But one day I overslept by 15 minutes and was rushing out the door to get to work on time (which I did) and didn't think to check on her. Heard from a mutual friend that she blamed me for her being late because I didn't wake her up. I stopped after that.
She told me she got a talking to once and she gave them a sob story about how much she works. She only works here two, maybe three days a week with 4-5 hour shifts. Aside from this, she also peddles products from one of the various pyramid scheme companies, I won't say which one, but that's basically commission-based and not much time spent.
She may be a friend of mine, but if I were her boss, I would have fired her some time ago.
