Well, I was just terminated from my job of 2+ years as a Medical Assistant for tardiness, and I feel really bad about it. I am not making excuses, but I was never more than 10 mins late. I would say 7 the most. I improved greatly after a warning. Unfortunately, I was a few minutes late twice within a 4-month span, which led to my termination. Lesson learned. No matter how hard you work or how much you show up for your patients, it doesn't. matter if you don't follow the rules perfectly.

You have to be more responsible an train yourself to start an arrive early. In nursing school we couldn't be one minute late or we were sent home. An if you were sent home more than two for tardiness you were cut from the program. Train yourself to be early even just ten to fifteen minutes early you'll find you'll have a more productive an a better day. It's jyst a life lesson is all. You'll get better🥰

What ever happened to personal responsibility? You got a warning for a reason. And, even though you say you learned your lesson, you're whining about it on social media.

You can't expect to be tardy constantly and keep a job. There's a start time for a reason.

I'm sorry that you lost your job. It took me owning my business to understand how important accountability is. Years later when I finally went back to work in corporate healthcare I was a changed employee. It sounds like this experience will help you be a much better employee in your next position.

Yep. If you value your work, you show up on time or even a little early. I am a teacher who must be on time, but there was a teacher colleague who always and I mean always showed up 10 minutes late. She was non tenure too and like expected she did not make tenure and was released so that someone who got their degree and teaching license could replace her that valued rules more.

It often comes down to the setting and context. I’m sure if I was a client in a salon, I wouldn’t want to sit there and listen to some potty mouth person bitch and moan. Know your audience! Additionally, swearing is a sign of immaturity and an inability to express oneself informatively. As for law enforcement, it’s often the culture as it is for other professions such as EMS or truck drivers.

I also have been late in the past. My very prompt sister always arrives to work 15-30 minutes before her scheduled time, eats breakfast and reads the newspaper (or electronic version thereof before she begins). That is not me. I personally cannot understand why late by a few minutes in 4 months would matter. If they need you there earlier then they should pay you extra to be there earlier. BUT people like my sister don’t aim to be ON TIME. They aim to be there early. And I should too (but I don’t). However, you will find that a proportion of this world is filled with people like my sister, who is much better off than I am:-)

Not saying you should get away with tardiness, but I’ve worked so many places where the medical staff is late all the time, by at least 15-20 minutes.

Agree but because the medical staff is late, doesn't give an employee carte blanch. I've quit several doctors (my PCP's) because they could not manage to be on time when I was the first scheduled patient of the day. To me, tardiness shows a lack of respect for me, whether as an employee or a patient.

like

There are people who are naturally punctual and people who require urgency to maintain focus. The only solution is early preparation and leaving early to arrive early. Make 15 minutes early your new “late” and 30 minutes early your new “on time”. Have something to do during the early time so it seems purposeful like makeup, banking, breakfast. Now your urgency is getting there early enough to do that thing. Also it might be helpful to time yourself at completing the tasks that you do before work like dressing, showering or feeding animals. Good luck on the next one. You can do this!

Sorry you lost your job. I work for a large medical company. If we are more than 5 minutes late clocking in we get an occurrence. Because it’s such a large company they have to keep the rules in stone. 10 occurrences in a rolling 12 month period gets you fired. If you’re sick and don’t have SSL and PTO to cover it, you get an occurrence. If you’re out for 3 days or more you need a drs note. But even with that you, still get an occurrence if the leave isn’t there to cover it. I can understand to a degree but it’s also tough when they take PTO to cover a holiday that falls on a Saturday.

Most companies give a grace period. Mine is 7 mins after your scheduled time. Then you’re considered late. Maybe there were other reasons why they wanted to let you go but this was the path of least resistance. You made it easy after the warning because you still came in late.

I'm sure you've learned your lesson. Responsibility. Apparently, this has been going on for a while, hope you have figured out that you obviously have to leave earlier to get there on time.
