I got to work a little late this morning because my ride was late, and my cab was still not on the lot. I waited 15 minutes, the night driver had still not brought it in, so I came home and am taking the day off. Our shifts start at 6 am, and I did not leave until almost 7. The dispatcher told me I should have called and let them know I was coming in. In all the time I have been working there, unless it is my day off or I have been in the hospital, I have been there, ready to roll off the lot at 6. I can count on 1 hand the times I have been late. The only times I have called is when I was up early to see if my car was available early. DH had the same night driver, and he never gave him any problems, but feels like he can jerk me around any time he feels like it. I felt like I had to prove my point that I will not be treated differently because I am female. It is going to be hot and slow today, so it is a good day to do it. I really hate taking the day off, though.
Was I wrong to do this? I feel kind of bad about it, but most drivers don't even let anyone know when they are not working, they just don't show up, sometimes for days at the time.
