one of my coworker 's has been over 30 minutes late everyday for almost a month now . it 's driving me crazy , and giving me so much more work to do . aw dang , that must really be pain for you . have you talked with anyone else about this ? i 'm sure other people are having problems with this coworker also . oh yeah , it 's been bothering everyone , but he is a friend of the manager , so he wo n't fire him . at this point me and the other employees are planning on taking it to corporate to get this resolved . ohhhhhhh , yeah that 's really hard on everyone then . taking it to corporate would be a good idea to help the company and the workers , if you need to vent out any more frustrations , just let me know !
