[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 32. I think I was a GREAT employee: I went to a T25 school but (for a variety of reasons, many of them my own fault) graduated with a lower GPA and no job. I got a job about a month after graduating and was very grateful, I remember one day my car broke down going to work and I was frantically trying to get a taxi to take me to the metro so I wouldn’t be late! I started out making only $50K a year and now make close to $200K, I was able to advance pretty well (not at the same company, but it did put me on a good path).

I see very little work ethic in the 22-25 year olds I supervise, unfortunately. I had one announce to me at around noon that she needed to WFH the remainder of the day. Okay, fine. Come to find out ‘working from home’ meant heading to the airport, going through security, etc. and not being available to actually work, only sporadically respond to teams messages. I had to explain PTO or comp time needed to be used for those circumstances and same day notice was unacceptable. I would’ve never done this!! [/quote]

I had this happen too! I called our IT guy with an extremely urgent problem and he snottily responded that he was at the airport and couldn't talk. He was on the clock as WFH!![/quote]
