So I held an assessment centre today, has about 27 candidates booked in for it. I checked my emails at about 8.50 (it started at 9.00) and had one from a candidate saying "My train wont get me in until 9.10 so will see you at 9.30ish"
I emailed back, "I'm afraid you needed to be here for 9am as discussed, I cant accept latecomers I am afraid as the assessment centre will be in full flow then"
Off I then trot to do my assessment centre, I don't get back to my desk until 5pm, only to find a barrage of emails from this lady, sent at 3 minute intervals. They basically tell me that its not her fault she was late, she lives very far away, she wasn't prepared to get a train before 8am so the earliest she could have got to me was 9.10. I'm very mean and unprofessional for ignoring her and she hopes I am happy now she has to carry on being on the dole and can I live with that on my conscience?
She ended it saying it was my loss.
I doubt that very much love.
