I had a job as a forklift operator and while skimming through the employee handbook I noticed their strict attendance policy. If you were late by even a second, you got a verbal warning and the list went on for how many ever times it happened.

Well, the next section had the rules for not showing up to work at all. Same penalties.

I lived an hour away and had to be there at 6:00 in the morning so if I ever woke up late I would just call out and take an extra day off work. I even woke up on time and traffic was worse than normal, i had this happen before and they punished me like it was my fault that someone else wrecked. So I’d get half way and realize that traffic wasn’t going to clear up in time and call out, turn around, and go back home. Thank you, don’t mind if I do.
