He spent those 2 hours texting me "on the way" "almost there" "not far out" "10 min away" "pulling in".

Shows up 15 min after his original scheduled time.

I assume people backing the guy are just acting out fantasies about sticking it to the man when they were never had the balls to actually do it themselves in the past.

Guy asked him if he could do it and the guy said yes. I dont see how the guy who didnt turn up is anywhere other than in the wrong. He could have said no. Hell even just ignoring the text would be better than saying yes and no showing.

but if he agrees to it, it looks really bad on him for not showing up. And makes him look lazy AF.

I'm assuming he doesn't live far away. Dude probably didn't even leave the house until the last 30 minutes or so.

I did something similar in my last job.

I volunteered to come early and set up with my manager . She didn't need it and it wouldn't take long. But I said, "I can come early." But I came at my usual time because I was procrastinating and thinking to myself it wasn't that important. She was petty about it.

But still... It was my fault. Seriously guys, don't make promises you can't keep, especially at work. No matter how small the favor even.

I dont get the pats on the back for the guy. If he just didnt respond or said no, its not like he wouldve been in trouble. Its a jerk move to say yes and then not show up. Worse than just saying no.

This is very petty. You're not providing much info but you seem to be happy with this?

Hope you're not in a management position.

Well apparently this dude been late to shifts recently so maybe this why my boss doesn't feel bad doing what he gonna do.

On the topic of requesting off, I've been denied before as they are "requests", so it's not like someone is obligated to have a specific day off.

Oh wow, yeah, you deserve him being late. At 7 AM, I'm asleep. I can't imagine how pissed I would be if someone random coworker (not even a boss) called me at 7 AM to come into work early. Oof.

If you're not their superior then mind your own fucking business.

Instead of celebrating someone else being denied a day off out of revenge, maybe push to get more approvals. That would be better for all.

tall to the boss and let him know how unreliable this sack of crap is. instead of a suspension, see if you can get him fired.

If you say you're going to do something, you do it. If you don't, you gotta deal with the consequences. It's not hard folks.

It was bad behavior to say yes and not follow up, so pettyness or whatever from the boss is just fair. And my guess is that if it was the first time and the coworker had a good excuse, it would probably not bother TC much.

This is why companies need to stop being so stingy with pay and staffing.

Like, it shouldnt even be a thing that if someone has to call out due to illness or emergencies that it becomes a problem for everyone at the job.
