The girl I work with has so much to learn, sometimes I stand there and think wow how have you made it this far. She doesnt have a single bill to pay, or responsibility. This is the same girl who is returning the rabbit from another discussions. I have been looking for another job, I need money badly. She keeps saying she hates her current job which is the obne we work together at the pet store. The manager does nit pick, and say things to us, but I need the money and have bills I cant just quiet on the spot. I was saying how I am planning on applying to a local fast food chain, I worked with this franschise for 8 years, and have been away for about a year now. But they would most likely hire me as it saves on training. I remember at my old work they would pick those who worked at a store in the past than someone who didnt. She kept saying she will apply, I told her I was applying for 5am - 9am, 3pm - 11pm, or 10pm - 6am. She kept carrying on, now this girl doesnt drive and it's about a 10 minutes drive out of town, we dont have any buses. Now I drive and that restricted I dont face, I can come and go as I please, or work out of town so on. I mentioned how she would get out there, she goes you will drive me. I told her really she would be paying me, and she would have to get the same shift as me. She never thought of really how she would get to work if someone wasnt available. I told her sometimes you need to suck it up, but then she doesnt have any responsibilities and doesnt understand.

"You will drive me." When did you become her chauffeur? Is this the same girl who cut her availability because she's getting rides from her parents?

That's what I told her, I pay for my car, and to get around including work plus all my other bills. Even when I was her age at 19 I was doing the same then. No, this is another girl I work with that girl quiet as they were trying to get me to cover her shifts, and I didnt have that availability.

Well, you don't have to necessarily have responsibilities to understand. I knew before I really had any kind of responsibilities that I needed to think before I quit a job and I never quit a job without giving any kind of notice (unless I already had another job lined up). As far as just assuming that someone will give you a ride to work, I do think that is wrong. However, I'm sure that she wouldn't have any issue getting a ride to work if she would pay someone for their time and gas.

Most I know who don't have any responsiblity are just like this, I alway consider options as I have bills, and other things to pay for whereas if I don't I will be out in a cardboard box. She was telling me that she will put her two weeks notice in Sunday and then kept asking if she will stay the two weeks or just not show up. She thinks it will come free, and I will drive out of my way to pick her up and drive her. I've had a few people like this, and I will not begiving them a free ride. I pay my way and so should they nothing is free in this world.

She is living in a magical world of make believe. It is not high school where the friends all bum rides off each other and just run around and never think of time or convenience for the person driving, let alone the gas.

That's what I said, I live 25 minutes out of town, if I had to pick her up I had to detour through town, whereas if I just drove myself I could take the truck by pass miss all the traffic, and time. I look out for myself not others, I pay for a car, and to get around. She really needs to realize that, if I couldnt then I woulddnt work out there or walk. She doesnt see the work aspect, I work jobs I hate to pay bills, and struggle to pay some. I dont worry about others, she is looking for her dream job whereas Im looking for a paycheque. She goes by what others say, not seeing for herself.

well, i find that young kids have no idea what the world is like. i have two nephews who work for their father, still live at home and pay very little in the way of bills (certainly no money for room or food or anything like that.) they think life is grand. they buy Starbucks every day, buy all designer clothes, etc. these people are so naive and have no idea what it means to go to bed hungry because you have to feed your kids first.

Oh, it is so bad to work with such girl. But I think it is necessary that we should learn even we go to work. We have to improve ourselves to keep pace with the society.

I don't jave any problems with the girl. If she doesnt pay me she doesnt get a ride. She needs to learn not everyone is out to cater to you, and you have to work for what you want.

Yep, she's spoiled, that's what she is. I've always thought that you have to experience failure in order for you to learn, and in this case, learn how to be responsible. You have to live life without anyone you can rely on, as if you don't have a plan B if your plan A fails.
