It's had to believe some of the excuses people use for not coming into work. The place where I work has a very low tolerance for absenteeism or tardiness. They fired a young man last night for excessive absenteeism, why, because his ingrown toenail was hurting. I know that ingrown toenails hurt I have two of them. Some people's pain tolerance is lower than others. It hurt my heart to see him go. When he was there he was a really good worker. I'm not sure which is more unbelievable the fact that he stayed out because of his toenail, or that they let a good worker go.
I almost think it was a warning to some of the others as to just how serious this company is about being at work and being on time. We had a girl who came to work right after having a motorcycle wreck because she didn't want to lose her job.
