[quote=Anonymous]I had an AP who stayed at her bf's house basically every night.  She'd get home around 6am and then rest before her shift started at 715am.  This started about half-way into her year with us and looking back I realize that's when she went from a fantastic to AP to backsliding.  I talked a lot with her about improving as an AP, and also told her that I wouldn't forbid her from staying over at her bf's house, though I didn't love it.  I also told her that if she was late one time for ANY reason that could have been prevented by staying home (i.e. car trouble, snow storm, traffic accident) we were through.  I told our AD about the situation so if I did have to boot her she knew what was up.

She chose to stay out and she was always on time.  She wasn't bad enough to rematch for (the kids loved her and she kept them safe and followed all rules, she just wasn't very proactive and didn't go above and beyond), but we didn't extend either.

FWIW her next HF never contacted me for a reference, and she found herself in rematch pretty quickly because they didn't like her staying at her BF's house.  [/quote]
