I had to follow these directions because I live in a new area (huge area) and had to find my way. I got lost. I ended up getting to work at 7:08 (supposed to be there at 6:15). I didn't remember the phone number so I could not call them. I went up to the door, it was locked. I saw people so I kinda waved and the guy came out and told me that since i was more than 20 minutes late I had to take the next training class...in 7 weeks!!!!! GRRR I explained to him that I was new to the area and that I got completely lost and he was firm. No letting me in. Fine. I came home (got lost on the way again.)

I hate mondays.....

coasterqueen replied: Oh hun, I'm so sorry. That just really stinks. I can't believe they couldn't be understanding that you were new to the area, etc. hug.gif hug.gif

moxee24 replied: hug.gif I love you! wub.gif I know it's a big area wacko.gif BUT you will learn and be able to find your way around in no time...as for the job, you will find another one (and a better one), so for today sit back and relax hug.gif hug.gif Besides, those people suck anyways

redplaydoh replied: It's always a good idea if you're not familiar with the area to scope it out the day before you need to be there for work. But the next time you'll know although it won't hurt a day or two before you have to be there again to drive it just so you'll be sure you know how to get there.
Hope things work out for the next training session.

lisar replied: hug.gif hug.gif Now you know your way there for next time. Sorry this happened to you I cant believe they wouldnt make an exception for you though.

redchief replied:
Since you've got several weeks to wait for a new training session, perhaps you could talk to the company's HR people and find out what destinations you will be required to know and go on some scouting trips. I'm sorry your day got so messed up. sad.gif

luvmykids replied: hug.gif That stinks. I'm a classic case of sleeping through alarm clocks so I sympathize!

CantWait replied: Better luck next time hug.gif hug.gif

A&A'smommy replied: oh no thats awesome I'm sorry hug.gif

gr33n3y3z replied: That was very strange
Maybe you could call them and see what is up with that

holley79 replied: hug.gif I am so sorry sweetie. I can't believe they couldn't be more understanding. What a putz!

cameragirl21 replied: i'm so sorry to hear that, Denise. i too suggest talking to their HR to see if something can be worked out sooner than 7 weeks.
i really hope you'll find something better soon. hug.gif

aspenblue1 replied: That sucks. I would definately call the HR dept.

HuskerMom replied: Wow they weren't very understanding. Hope the next training session goes better for you if you can't get in sooner. hug.gif hug.gif
