[quote=Anonymous]I was a childless (and young!) supervisor of a woman who worked part-time for me. She had 4 children under the age of 6. She was unbelievably irresponsible, overcommitted, and unable to manage her life. It wasn't just the kids - it was the multiple part-time jobs and the kids and her many varied interests/activities. I tried to keep things as flexible as I could for her, but she was routinely 30-45 minutes late to work (for a 3 or 4 hour "shift"); talked on her cell phone incessantly while at work; changed her schedule constantly (asked permission, but it was multiple times a week). After a year, we managed to change her position to a full-time position and then another unit picked her up on a part-time basis. She lasted about 4 months for them and then she left. I don't think they were as flexible/ understanding as I had been! (or maybe I was just a pushover...it was my first time supervising anyone)[/quote]
