I watched a piece off social media today...where a 20-something year old gal....noted that she was interviewing for a job, and had asked the HR-'Boss' if they understood that she had time-blindness.
What she meant? Well....she didn't really obligate herself to a clock. If they expected her to be at the desk at 8 AM....her time-blindness might prevent that, and she might be there at 8:11 AM, or 8:30 AM, or possibly even 8:45 AM.
What she wanted....was compassion from the 'boss' (some understanding).
She didn't say what the reaction was. It sounded like this job-interview didn't go well.
It sounded like she had a disability situation....or at least she wanted you to respect her time-blindness.
Punctually-impaired? Yeah.
I don't have a problem with a person who is tardy once a month (say 15 to 20 minutes), and their story is reasonable. When it's a 3-time a week event, and the story is a simple 'I-woke-up-late' saga....it doesn't work.
As for the employment future of this gal? Over the next forty years....I don't think she will move up much, or be considered for management positions.
