Very good articles. In college, you can sometimes get by if you know the stuff. In highschool, part of the training is disciplining yourself to make the schedule. These administrators are just putting off the inevitable learning experience so its not within their walls.

Thanks Pam. Sometimes long dissertations are required to make a point, this wasn’t one of them. Employers are finding that they are having more and more problems with young employees not being aware that actually showing up and working are required to keep their jobs. I once had an assistant manager at Foot Locker who didn’t get it either. Until he showed up for a store sales meeting 35 minutes after he was supposed to be there to help set up. He got the idea when I escorted him back to my office, took his store keys, and then showed him the way back out of the store. From then on, whenever a district manager had an assistant manager who needed training or termination, they sent them to me. In 2 years, I canned 2, had 2 quit, and trained 2 to the point of them surpassing everyone else in their store operational skills, one of which became regional rookie manager of the year.

Excellent point! Employers don’t allow makeups!

They need to teach these idiotic school administrators what people outside of academia who fail to show up as required are called…. unemployed.
