  • Contract employee: "I cannot go to work today?"

    This incident happened Thursday.

    Visitor Parking was reserved. The full sign was on, & the white sign stating Visitor Parking is closed for an event was in front of the 2 gates at the Visitor Parking booth.

    I received a phone call from the Parking office several weeks ago regarding a new contract employee who would be working in Career Services. She parked in Visitor Parking that day, & Career Services gave her a token to exit. Then she got a parking permit to park in the Faculty/Staff garage.

    Thursday:

    She drove up to the Visitor Parking booth & told me she had to park in Visitor parking because she forgot her access card for the Faculty/Staff garage, & she would get a token at Career Services to exit. I told her that Visitor Parking was closed for an event & that I did not have any parking spots. I was about to tell her to pull up to the entrance gate to the Faculty/Staff garage & press the call box when she said "does that mean I cannot go to work today?" I said "no, you can go to work today, but you cannot park in Visitor Parking. You will have to press the call box at the Faculty/Staff entrance gate & speak to the Parking office & tell them you do not have your access card. You might be able to park in there."

    She does that, & she is able to park in there.

    Yeah, 'cuz telling my boss I couldn't find a parking spot was always an acceptable excuse for why I didn't show up for work.

    Sounds like someone's looking to get her contract cut short.
    Sorry, my cow died so I don't need your bull

        Exaspera! It's a damn good thing I swallowed the G2 I'm drinking BEFORE I came to your post! About the OP: How tempting was it to agree with her just to mess with her for a while?

          Maybe she was secretly hoping you'd say yes, and then she could be like, "Oh, darn. Schucks. Well, that's life I guess. I was really looking forward to going to work, but I guess I'll have to settle with going home, getting in my pyjamas and watching Oprah all day. Gee whiz."

          I have, on occasion, prayed for that type of outcome.
