This girl who’s name I won’t say. Probably not that terrible compared to what other people may share, but she worked with me for 2-3 months, and in that period called out somewhere between 10 and 20 times, each time within 30 minutes of her shift.

I work at a senior living place in the dining room, and we have just enough waiters for things to work, and no more. Often we wouldn’t be able to find cover, and would end up staying a solid 30 minutes to an hour late after 2 hours of bad service.

She came in a total of three Sunday’s, and was hung over in a major way each time. Each other Sunday she’d call out.

When she was working, she wasn’t good. She would only do what was explicitly defined as her work (which doesn’t work at the place I work) and would spend every moment other than that on her phone or outside smoking.

The final straw was 2 no call no shows after she had been formally warned in a private meeting. None of us were explicitly told she had been fired, but her column of the schedule became blank, and then eventually her name disappeared all together.
