> With triggers like: If the cleaner is more than 15 min late 5 times in a period of 3 months and there are more than 5 resumes posted for cleaning positions do not open the door and fire them.

I hope what you’re describing never becomes a reality. People aren’t disposable tissues for your convenience.




The joke was that this is already the reality. If it is a letter, a text message or a friendly boss changes nothing to the fact. One cant pay bills with politeness. It might actually be hilarious in how clearly defined it is in advance! If you are rarely late no one will complaint when it happens, if there is a lack of resumes posted you can be late every day and if it is less than 15 min its never an issue. The option to call the employer is still there. Remember when I said I wasn't going to make it in time today? Well, the doorbell fired me.
