Opie:"If bosses can't understand those kinds of delays they have a problem."
Holy livin crap. Have you been in the workplace in the last 20 years, Opie?
Doesn't sound like it. In 2011, it's the new normal: If you're not at work on time more than twice, you're out the door and there's plenty of people to take your place.
It only takes one stopped train to get fired for a lot of working people.
Employers are major-league assholes in this day and age, they can afford to be, and they have a infinite pool of workers to draw from.
You speak from the ancient age of 'benefits' and 'pensions' and whatnot.
Get your ass into the 21st Century...or are you still enjoying the benefits of 20th century employment?
Cause you sure don't speak to modern-day employment for a majority of Americans.
