What's interesting, I heard recently most people who are fired are not terminated for not doing a good job. Rather most people who get fired are let go due to personality related issues: disrespectful, conflicts with others, bad attitudes, combative personalities, abrasive personalities, insubordination, etc. There's patience for people who are positive and try their best but suck at what they do.
I have an employee who is late for work literally 95% of the time in a time sensitive position. Its hugely frustrating but she is a champion at apologizing, always commits to do better and has such a sweet, likable personality its hard to stay mad at her...until the next day when she's late again :. Plus she does a great job when she's there, would be very difficult to replace and adds enormously to our workplace morale atmosphere. I'm convinced its a mental disorder.
On your part or hers? When late arrival is accepted it tends to spread. Perhaps you should tell her to leave early, to make up for coming in late.
