I went from making $8.10 an hour to becoming a Department Manager in a little over a year. This company has a fantastic benefits package, their 401k is second to none in what they match etc etc..

Also, in all honesty, my job experience is not stable prior to this job. I bounced around from job to job in great part because of some personal demons that I was fighting. So, it is extremely important for me to give this company everything I got because they trusted me enough and put me in this position forgiving my terrible work experience from 1999 thru 2006. I have not missed a beat with them.

It is just so frustrating as a Department Manager to have a great crew of hard working folks and have this one bad apple that will no doubt cause problems and possibly be a bad influence on others. I spoke to another Department Manager and he had a great suggestion. As long as he is in his 45 day probationary period schedule him in as early as possible and let him be late a couple more times or no call no show. Then, jump above our HR Manager and take the facts to the Regional HR Manager. Honestly, I feel I should do that this week regardless.
