I had an exam at 8:00 today and was supposed to be at work by 10:30, I didn't get to make it to work I'm still on probation period. I called after and didn't get an answer from anyone.. I got done at around 11:50 so decided not to go... Is this it for me? Am I getting fired.
Please help me, what article of the NMA is that one hour clause in? BCThere's no excuse for you to not have called into work. Contractually, all bargaining unit employees are required to call in at least an hour before their report time or as soon as reasonably possible. You probably knew you had this exam coming for at least the last 4-6 weeks; at the very least, you should have come in and showed your supervisor your class syllabus or had a note from your professor.
As far as keeping your job.. honestly, it depends on how desperate they are for bodies. In my hub, we've had guys demonstrate they would be attendance problems or atrocious employees before they attained seniority and they still made book. In others, they'll let guys go for being late one day out of 30 or because they don't think they work fast enough.
Sorry guys for asking really dumb question. It's just that I've never been in these situations and didn't know what to do.
I did speak with my part-time SUP and he said it was fine I showed him the test, The phone lines weren't working during the times I called they had issues with the phone and belts working. He did say I'm a great worker at this point so it wasn't an issue. Thank you guys for answering some of my dumb questions.
And the reason I forgot to notify the SUP's was because, While they were telling my PPH and talking to me I was going to tell them and it just slipped through my mind so I forgot. And then While I was done I had to go to a safety meeting and my mind just blanked from there totally forgetting.
Hope you have big...Hooters...and can bake a good pie...If not I heard FedEx needs a few people.!!!!I had an exam at 8:00 today and was supposed to be at work by 10:30, I didn't get to make it to work I'm still on probation period.
