And I don’t really care. I can agree on many things on this platform and I do. However I stand by my statements. Work is about showing up and being present. If a person cannot adhere to that commitment without a modecum of respect for their coworkers and have an attitude of “I can take off whenever I want” then it’s not professional. It’s fine if they find a profession where that works for them. I have yet to encounter a company or industry that has that sort of liberal schedule.

I know they exist in certain industries. I have never been a part of those. But it takes all kinds to keep this world running.

Psycho. Going through posting history? Blocked.

I am not peddling that at all. You are not reading critically. I manage a crew of people that have a CBA with allocated PTO. They know their limitations and there is almost never a conflict because I manage those shortages and still fulfill what our tasks are.

However, the discussion is “I should be able to take whatever day I want whenever I want”. I do not think that is a professional attitude or a team attitude. Full stop. There is nothing more to that other than I see it as a roadblock for promotion and that attitude does not last long where I am from. This is also not the first company I have worked for in this industry. I was a front like worker for 9 years before becoming management.

You are not important enough to my existence to go stalking your comments. I’m having a conversation and I don’t agree with you and you had to make it personal because you are a dick. I don’t care what you think about me, my family or anything I have to say because your approach is horrible and one of low intelligence.

I will not discuss specifics. However you’re in the neighborhood.

Then you’re a crap employee and you wouldn’t be welcome on our team. We like adults working with us that bring actual conversations that help do what we do.

We do in fact play in traffic. We are literally professionals at it. It’s so heartwarming that you care so much.

Wrong about how showing up is part of work? Ok. Just show up whenever you feel like it and tell me if you have a job. I think you’re full of shit if you get to do that. Or you are like a Kardashian.

Ok Dr. Phil. What a rod. You looked so deep into my soul and told me. You don’t do shit for a living and don’t understand how having a job works.

What we do saves lives

Does no one on Lemmy work? Is it a bunch of neck beards in their parent’s basements? When does showing up for work become a human centipede? Absolutely dumb analogy.

Absolutely an NPC comment. Go ahead. Change the sky to green to show you “can change into whatever”. No awareness.

I do. It’s not my department we are discussing.

That’s literally my job. I ensure we have right amount of staffing. I gave said it several times. I just simply don’t agree that everyone should take any day all time. Attendance is part of being dependable and thus valuable to a team. Holding attendance standards is just like any other performance factor.

Are you under some illusion that I don’t want days off? That I haven’t had PTO denied? You speak of some fantasy where every day you want, you get. I am warning those reading this that aren’t commenting. Those that think this attitude of “fuck it I’m going to do it anyways” is going to go well.

I have never seen it pan out. It’s a horrible attitude in any sort of relationship. I already know I’m replaceable.

.I find it odd that Lemmy talks a big game of being kind and forth right but when someone does it about a subject they are dead set against the claws come out. I think there is an ethical way to fulfill both the business and the employees and be successful. It’s a balancing act. And it takes compromise all the way around.

No it’s not. I’m in charge of 30 people in a place that has close to a hundred employees. It’s my department. I am the one that makes those choices. However I do not make their union contract and I do not do anything other than adhere to what their CBA holds them to. I have only terminated one person for attendance in my time of 5 years. The rest of been neglence of safety on the employee.

Attendance is not any reason. You are literally hired for attending. If you cannot be consistent how can you expect to be valuable?

Well I’m not in charge of them. I wish you the best in finding a leader that helps with your schedule.

My team does not. But that’s because I am the one that organized it and has redundancies. However I realize normally businesses do not have that luxury.

Wow. You sound really jaded. That cooperative work equates to some kind of negative. In fact you sound like a teenager that has not fully formed their emotions. I’m telling you how it comes off and what are the consequences from an upper management perspective. Since I sit in on meetings from a multi-billion company with them, maybe hear it out. Or don’t. It’s really up to you if you think I’m out to get you from telling you what happens in today’s business world.

Do I wish we could all take every single day we want and not work 50 hours a week and do what my boss says? Yes. But I am not more in control of those strings than anyone else here and just play the game just like everyone else.

Yup. I’m totally holding up the whole infrastructure of work. It was my idea to work and not have a working system. Hit that nail on the head. Thanks for looking deeper into my soul and giving me insight.
