What can I do??
I love my job at Papa John's as a shift manager. One of the best jobs I've had. My little one is getting older tho and my wife is back to work. She and I usually take turns picking him up from daycare, but recently her job has been keeping her longer and longer. She hasn't been able to get him and I keep asking my sister in law to pick him up which is ok for now, but I can't keep asking her. I don't want to leave early myself and set a bad example for the employees here. Anyone know what should I do??
Just do what you can everything else will fall into place good luck with everything and mostly God bless you and your family
I would find a daycare that offered hours more conducive to your family's hours. Or you could talk with some of the other parents who use the same daycare and offer them a few bucks to pick up your child the same time they pick up theirs.
Don't get so wrapped up in the job that you lose site of what matters most. Your family. Don't beat yourself up about having to leave to go pick up your child. Adjust your schedule so you can leave and take care of your business and then come back and work if need be.
Hire me I'll finish the rest of your shift no questions asked
Granted you and your wife have a kid, but the business that you work for should understand that your family means more to you than anything, if they can't understand that then it doesn't sound like they to much about you,and that is coming from a work alcoholic work loved my job as a combat veteran but as a first lieutenant in the Navy, enjoy the times you have with your family, I am an only child, I still have both of my parents, GOOD Luck to you hope I gave a little advice where it was needed!
Either you set something up with your employers that you need to pick up your child and maybe you can take your child to a sitter to return to work and finish out your shift, or you find a responsible sitter who can pick up and sit till you come home. Most employers are good about accomodating family issues like that as long as you're up front and honest and a good worker. A solution will always present itself if you keep looking for one.
Man honestly I can say just keep your job and keep doing what you're doing. As far as I see it you ain't done nothing wrong. Sounds like you hot things under control. Let me know how it goes man. Peace
Can you make a deal with your sister-in-law, a trusted neighbor, or someone else to regularly pick up your little one and provide care for an hour or so for some kind of compensation? You watch her kids at some other time or drive the morning carpool or...?
Look you are in the position to take off early , so don't let it get to you . I would say this . just remember when your employees need to do the same :) . and kids always come before work. also if you can have family pick up your child this is an option as well .
Speak to your district manager about your situation with your son.Upper management is suppose to understand situations with kids and daycare or school.If they don't then weigh out your options. Talk it over with your wife.Im sure u to will work it out.God Bless u and your family.
