So teaching another freelancer my job has hired. And she's continuously late to all of our meetings. And like I get it, I have ADHD. I understand being late. But I also let people know if I'll be late, because of the anxiety but also it's common decency. And it's just frustrating, because she also never sends a message that she'll be late.
Again, totally understand that shit happens, and I've told her about it. But this is the third time, she was 30 minutes late to the video chat and I was also training the other person that I've been looking after.
I just don't know if I'm putting expectations on her and getting frustrated because of my ADHD. Or if it's just... Iunno.
I think this freelancer is being really disrespectful of your time and it's incredibly unprofessional. I reckon you need to lay down some hard boundaries. If you don't she will just keep doing it.
Yeah, I definitely will just send another message. The other freelancer I'm looking after is great, I mean she's been a bit slow to become independent, but she's been on time, reachable (not saying I'm contacting her hours before work but a good 5-10 mins), like super nice. This other one is nice and is understanding what I'm training her in. But yeah like 10 - 30 minutes late without letting me/my boss know. It's just... come on.
