While I was about to go home, someone approached me and said the she heard the news about me having a "clash of time" with one of my co-worker. I, with my head up, walked straight and said "yes!".
Let's talk about "tardiness".
I have to be honest about this but I also experienced being late. FML. But I know the limits of having enough of the bad times and I have cared enough to point my reasons inexcusable.
There is this person who doesn't know how to fix her own "chronic tardiness". I personally told her that she should never be late again or be ashamed 'bout her tardiness and be surprised with what she replied: "eh ano, sa'kin naman nababawas un, ah!". That's how proud she was in front of us, her co-workers.
And now, I am questioning her absences. Not that I'm aware of her family gatherings, but we also have lots of affair with our family, and we never make that as an excuse to leave our work responsibilities. I learned that she doesn't want to deduct her absences this month and I wonder what the hell could be her reason for that! Wag niyang sabihin na malakas siya sa boss. That would be unfair for most of us!
We make sacrifices because we still care 'bout our job. We all want to be with our family this season and all we can do is wait 'till the holidays' come off the time. Besides, she should never question her own pay because she makes her own time.
I don't care who you should blame for your lates and absences. May it be intentional or not, you are delaying the productivity of the office. Just because you have lots of responsibilities doesn't mean you're the boss, so don't act like one. You are affecting the job of the others and you doesn't seem to care. Being too rational 'bout your excuses means disrespecting other people's time!
