[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I talked to the employee. It sounds like her DH does not help with the school drop off and pickup and afer school activities. That is not grounds for an accomodation. I am the parent of school aged kids and we pay for after care, arrange carpools, stagger our schedules for after school activities. I appreciated her honesty with me but this is not grounds for not presenting. Her children are also HS aged so she will need to figure out her job and home responsibilities. I guess in the pandemic, she got used to picking up kids after school, etc. We are in hybrid environment and she has the ability to flex hours so she had been doing this to pick up kids then working once home or taking leave. I don't know what to say. I was not expecting this at all![/quote]

I was the much earlier poster who said she was playing you. I didn’t mean it as an insult, but rather that she was lying low and shirking until she was called on it. I think it’s very telling about the current WFH/work situation that this employee thought her excuse was appropriate. Also, the willingness of others on this thread to make excuses for this employee is nuts! Many posters would rather find an excuse than inquire or consider poor behavior. To me, the clue was the repeated violation, yet no desire to address the issue. When an employee doesn’t care about their poor performance and their impact on others, there is a problem. [/quote]
