It all depends on where you live. Where was the survey done?
Exactly. I don't know how the statistics had been done, but at least where I live, I really need to drive given how bad the public transport is. And I live in a city!
I agree. I had to terminate an employee that relied on Uber. As much it's a shitty move, my company doesn't fuck around when it comes to attendance. If you are over 10 minutes late multiple times you get fired.
Now it's usually pretty easy for me to be on time and we pay really well. So it's worth it. But not having reliable transportation directly affected his attendance. Is that because we live in an area that is dense and getting an Uber can take a bit at times? Is it any better in the country? Was there anything else he could have done to make it easier?
Maybe. But ultimately it came down to him not being dependable.
You fired someone for not owning a car? ... I don't think I could bring myself to do something like that. They'd have to fire me first.
It really wasn't a choice of me firing someone for not owning a car. I fired someone that couldn't show up consistently. If they could make it work without a car we wouldn't have cared. There are other at the job that do it without owning their own car.
