That’s basically what I plan to do at this point. I sadly have a lot of time management issues that I never fixed when I was younger. I can only make some attempts now and hope they’re enough.
Never, ever, ever let someone else control your future by discouraging you from improving yourself. He sounds like a controlling person and you need to tread with caution with him. They are experts at making you feel bad about yourself. If you’re stuck there until you finish nursing school, stay, then get the hell out when you graduate. If you want to be somebody, BE somebody. You sound like a hard worker and someone willing to put in the work that’s needed to get there. You will always come across people who will try to pull you back due to their own insecurities. Ignore them. Stand strong! But first, make sure you are on time to work from here on out no matter what is going on around you! You got this!
like this. I can’t believe adults can’t get off their ass and go to work.
First. Speak to your immediate supervisor and tell him/her that you will come in when called and then live by word.I’m 90% certain I’m going to get fired next week.
I’ve been at my location a little over a year. My boyfriend and I used to have a friend who worked at the same spot and he got canned for bad attendance. I also made the same mistakes, in large part because my boyfriend would demand I not waste the gas money to go in when management kept asking me to go in for one hour. When I pointed out what happened to our friend, my boyfriend’s response was that “you’re union they can’t fire you for poor attendance”.
Unfortunately I have that many write-ups because I was an idiot and believed him. I shouldn’t have, but it’s difficult because I live with him. If I didn’t I probably wouldn’t have listened to him as much as I did. Despite the efforts I made to attempt to get better at this, I was late twice in a row this week and got written up again. The supervisor who did so did not have a union rep present so I don’t know if it will stick, or what I should do.
If I lose this job I will be unable to afford to go to nursing school. I am in tears right now.
Worst case scenario, if I do get fired how many months/years will I have to wait until I can get rehired? I literally can’t afford classes or health insurance without this job.
EDIT: My boyfriend is aware that I’m on thin ice. Despite this, we got into a fight Sunday night because I had to go in. They sent me home 90 minutes later and he got mad at me for wasting gas.
You mean nightmare. I wouldn’t want to be her patient. She probably called in sick.
By speaking to a business agent does that mean I might be able to fight this? I may have hope after all?
Need a new boyfriend? It's my dream to send a chick to work, what is this guy doing lmao.
Every other thread is about UPS not hiring and staffing enough people. Then the same people want to defend people not showing up for work. People like this are part of the problem not the solution. Quit blaming your situation and get to work or quit. You are wasting everyone’s time. Instead of the management team working on operational plans, it deals with
Sorry, I’m calling BS on the one hour report. As an adult, you research what you are/aren’t entitled to and show up for work every day. She probably shows up when she wants to and the supervisor has no plans for her because she can’t be counted on. The supervisor shouldn’t have have to fight people to get to work, but it happens daily. I can’t stand people that have an excuse for every attendance infraction like someone is supposed to feel sorry for them, while everyone else is buried in their work. You came to UPS looking for work-not the other way around.
You better learn time management, no one likes someone who is always late.
And if you do get your job back, I’m sure your co-workers won’t mind picking up your slack when you go back to your old adult(?) habits lol
Please DO NOT MARRY THE KNUCKLEHEAD BOYFRIEND! RUN!I’m 90% certain I’m going to get fired next week.
