Hi all, yeah you hear from me a lot.
So we had training on Friday. I recieved 4 staff phone calls/texts that morning. One person had strep, another was counting on that person for a ride, and another pair of staff was hopelessly lost. So i walked in a bir late, wanna say 10 minutes, and with the staff I gave a ride to. When I got the list of people to do write ups on that staff was on there so I went over to my sup to just let her know that staff A was on the phone with lost staff and we were trying to give them directions. All fine, but my sup says she had gotten a write up ready for me to recieve for that tardy to be fair all around. It has bothered me all day.
To be fair all around is that the first tardy is generally a conversation. not even a documented conversation at that. trainings are a bit different I understand, but i also understand they finally gave up the total no cell phone rule because we are on call all the time. And also part of the 'fair' is that I have literally NEVER been late. Not since training in August, not over the summer for camp, not for a meeting, nothing. I have had weeks with 3 and 4 appointments for the mental health of my kids and they are ALL scheduled around meetings and trainings. The only one I have ever requested off was my birthday and I was okay if I didn't get it, but I gave up our very special family day in August (it was Warped Tour which not many people understand but okay).
So I want to bring this up in some gentle way, not in a more conflict way, but we have been a very good team and I know these things can fester and affect the team. I also would appreciate being known as the always on time person and get asked what happened rather than automatically written up.
