New England B.S. Thread

It's good. It's also highly overrated.... That whole area up around Burlington VT is full of good craft brews.

 

Nothing like calling out of work because you broke your ass

 

The main roads seem treated and they're not bad. The back roads are pretty slick. Waze took me some down some pretty tight back roads and they were extremely slick.

 

I wish. Busy replacing broken poles from the weekend.

 

Yup, I'm your neighbor!

 

What part of jersey you coming from?

 

Dirty, Jersey. Old bridge. I'm back in ri

 

Safe travels. Shitty out there.

 

RI meet up soon?

 

I'm in ri

 

Just an update from the granite state; got an offer in on a house, work is retarded crazy, and I'm not avoiding this or my build thread... Just juggling eggs.

 

Hopefully you get it

 

I will be on Tax Day..mmmm

 

Morning all.
So the boss hired a new girl for the office. I say girl, but she's 55. Monday last week was her first day and she called out. Then showed up late on Tuesday and Wednesday (5-10 minutes), then called out on Friday. Then showed up late yesterday and today (5-10 min again)

Personally, I'd have had a conversation with her by now. But my boss? No balls. He bitches to the rest of us about it, but then doesn't do anything to fix the problem by bringing his concerns to her.

 

No probationary period? Usually people are at their best at the start of a new job, if she's this bad already, just wait til she gets comfortable.

 

Do you guys do the trial period before they become a full hire?

 

90 days. So hopefully either she improves her attendance or he grows a set before then.

 

Someone that age still doing that stuff probably comes with other problems

 

I'm guessing closing in on retirement and just doesn't give an F anymore.

 

Highly likely.

But, rather than nipping it in the bud I'm sure da boss is going to passively let it slide. Not sure how he thinks that'll fix it, though. Gotta set expectations early with people; if she thinks that showing up late regularly is ok on her first week it's obviously only going to get worse.
