I am not sure if leaving my work email on here is allowed I will check the rules of the forum and come back.
No - suggest that OP sends you a private message.Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0 -
S**T happens.
I was nearly 2 hours late on my FIRST day once.
Just told them about the issue on the motorway and that was that. Never contacted the agent and no-one ever mentioned it again.
Was with the company for over a year before I got a better offer and left.:jTo be Young AGAIN!!!!...what a wonderfull thought!!!!!:rolleyes:0 -

So someone points out you may overreact and you respond by overreacting?0 -
I’ve had a brief look at your history and seems you make an issue out of the slightest thing.
Such as the work patterns, the wages, what other people work, not being able to go to gp appointments, not being able to drink.
Do you actually want a job? Having a stable job would probably help you. Being two minutes late is nothing.Mortgage free wannabe

I'm sure your employer would've been relieved you were two minutes later rather than being involved in said accident and not being able to make it into work at all.
When you're next in work (I assume tomorrow?) find someone, sit down with them, and say you apologise for getting worked up but that you were annoyed with yourself for being a couple of minutes late.
Hopefully you'll be able to sort something out and it won't be necessary to write a weeks' notice etc.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0 -

Not a good idea. Why drag it all up again and make yet another drama out of nothing much?0 -

Two minutes late? Seriously?
I wouldn't even notice if any of my employees turned up two minutes late. Certainly wouldn't care as long as they didn't do it every day but still leave at 5 on the dot0
