My boss takes me for a fool. Before I started she knew the circumstances.
I can only travel through cab and even then I couldn't promise that I'd make it in time, because they have other people who depend on them.
She shouted at me months later, told me I'm the one who takes her for a fool, said that I'm the one who takes my job for granted, and said I was selfish.
But I'm grateful for my job, unfortunately due to cost of lessons and not enough time to dedicated for lessons I can't drive myself.
I explained, I'll go in with someone who starts earlier ( 2 hours in advance) before my start time if it means being there on time, which az first was fine... but I'm loosing out on 2hours work, so eventually it was unattainable,I have no public transport near me and the road there is dangerous and an hours walk... so no, not impossible, but also not safe.
I know this probably sounds like a problem I brought up on myself, but when I started I was desperate for a job after a year and a half of looking. I was willing to take anything that came my way, even if it meant hitch hiking there, I needed the money.
But circumstances change, my lift passed away, cab services increased 8n demand locally, and public transport stopped running through my town.
And now she knows that I have no choice to go in hours earlier, even if I'm not being paid, or have no way in... so I have to accept it. Even if everyone around me says I'm an idiot, a fool, pathetic for letting it slide... but what else am I to do. If I wasn't in work, they'd still call me all those things.
