Q: Reguarly about 45 mins late to job bc of another job. Talked to manager and relevant employees, assured it was ok. Not
One of the employees I spoke with has now left. Her replacement is not ok with my being late on 2 evenings I work. She's demanding I be on time or give up other job, but I need the money. Again, this subject was talked about w manager and other employees and approved before this woman started working with us and before I took the extra job in first place! Do I have to change my options bc of her? Job in question is a hotel I have worked pt night audit at for the last several years in Indiana.
A: Unfortunately, you are most likely an at-will employee. You can be fired at anytime for almost any reason. Your employer could fire you for not liking the way you dress or for not meshing well with the other employees on a personal level. In this case, being 45 minutes late is a perfectly valid reason to let you go.
