When I was captain of sailing schooners, anyone even 10 seconds late would be fired on the spot.
There was no excuse for being late that was satisfactory. None!
Why be such a hard ass, you ask?
There were 50 paying passengers waiting to leave who didn't give a crap about any excuse, and I had to take shit from them for something I didn't do or have any control over.
At hiring this was made quite clear to every crew member and besides, a crew member was supposed to be aboard at least a half hour early to help their crew mates prepare the boat for the trip, not fair to them.
If you are so stupid you show up late on your third day, then you are showing your employer how little you value the job and your disdain for the employer.
Stop bitching and GROW UP.
Is it normal that I was fired for this?
