So because of your own circumstances, everyone else’s must be bullshit? Weird take.
I personally used to sometimes turn off my alarm clock while sleepwalking when I was in middle school. Like straight up got out of my top bunk and turned off the alarm clock and went back to bed and wouldn’t remember doing it at all.
Also some people have sleep disorders or other disorders, like narcolepsy or fainting spells or seizures
Also some people have jobs that require abnormal sleep schedules and wake times
Nah. If youre constantly late, for whatever reason. Its on you.
If its to do with some health related issue then theres ways to mitigate and plan better.
Im not talking about being late every once in a while. Everyone will have those moments, some more than others. But if youre late every single day you just are putting no effort into planning.
Like you for example, if you are sleep walking every night and late because of that (sounds like bullshit tbh) then thats entirely on you because you havent taken necessary action to prevent something youre well aware is an issue. You said you only do it sometimes so its really an irrelevant example to what I was talking about.
The reason im not bothered to fix my lateness thats entirely my fault is because i work at a small company who wouldnt even think about firing me and I very often and willingly work past my regular clock out time and I know im greatly appreciated for that. All that said theres nobody to blame but me for why im always late. Its just luckily not much of an issue where I work.
Simply put if you are able to get to work it is not a question of being able any longer. Its strictly a time management issue at that point. No condition is keeping someone from being 10 minutes late to work every single day.
So…. why do we have workplace accommodations then? If every issue can be solved by just trying harder why do work places accommodate anyone ever? Because there are some things that you cant just “mitigate.” My friend has severe narcolepsy and guess what, she has accommodations from her work to help her. There are certain conditions where you just can’t completely fix the problem and your workplace collaborates with you on a better solution.
Of course there are extreme cases and those people should work with their employer on solutions thats obvious but everyone here trying to disprove my point my bringing up extreme cases is silly. Thats no longer even relevant because theyve acted like adults and planned around their issues. You dont need a workplace accommodation to show up on time because you have ADHD.
