[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adjust her pay and she's gonna leave. So decide how important that one hour of pay is! [/quote] This. We have the exact same situation with ours. 15-20 mins late a day. It annoys me out of principle that I’m paying for time she isn’t here. But, the money is meaningful to her I’m sure while it isn’t to us, so I just eat the cost. [/quote] To me, it wouldn't be just about the cost. If I told my nanny I needed coverage at 8 am when I hired her, it's because I NEED coverage at 8 am. If I don't get that coverage at 8 am, then my work suffers, and I could get fired. Maybe other posters here have jobs where they won't get fired if they are constantly late, but do you think your boss/co-workers don't notice that YOU are late every single day? Is it possible there have been opportunities that your boss didn't even consider you for, because of your lateness? You might not even know those opportunities existed, because like I said, your boss never even considered giving it to you. Or maybe that's not your situation. But it is the reality for some people so to call it "silly" is ignorant.[/quote] But then it’s not about the money. That’s the thing. Either it’s a very important failure to meet the demands of the job (terminate) or it isn’t, it’s just annoyance. I guess it’s sort of bimodal. It’s either incredibly important, or it’s not very important at all. For me it’s the latter so I would never quibble over the money. But if it’s putting you in a bad spot at work, it’s also not about the money, it’s about serious harm to your professional life. [/quote]
