Some jobs arent forvivving. At the coal mije i work at, being late can mean a permanent reduction in your pay. Its the only job that pays anything close to a living wage here, so you cant just quit and find a new one. You either get there on time or explain to your husband why he cant cook the nice meals he likes to and has to buy ramen.
That's fair, I totally understand that some employers are assholes about someone being late even if they've been on time for 27 years.
But when you're already late... What can you do? Being there 2 minutes later won't help when your employer is like that.
Thats totally true
