When this restaurant worker was running late for their shift, their manager reached out to ask if they were coming in, probably not realizing that the simmering heat of anger that had been bubbling below the surface was about to boil over. After a series of unmet promises, unrealistic expectations, and even being cheated out of pay, this restaurant worker was more than happy to call it quits. The reason they were late to their shift in the first place was that they had actually been interviewing for another role, which had gone overly long and caused them to run behind.
Under normal circumstances, it's definitely fair for your manager to reach out to ask where you are when you're late for your shift. There's nothing worse as a manager than having someone who is notoriously unreliable with their tardiness and attendance. It's also usually best not to be late for your current job because you're interviewing for another one. But, you get the respect that you give in this world, and if you haven't been treating your workers very well, don't expect them to treat you well either.
