The context of the following conversation is Jan is Bailey's supervisor at a fast food restaurant. Jan wanted to fire Bailey for being late too many times. Although Bailey blamed the issue on traffic, she promised to come to work on time. So Jan gave Bailey another shot.:
Bailey says I've been having a few problems at work lately..
The friend responds What's your situation like at work?.
Bailey responds I work at a fast-food restaurant. But I received a final warning from my manager today for tardiness..
The friend responds You need to be professional in your work and that includes punctuality..
Bailey responds I'm usually only 5-10 minutes late and usually it's because I was stuck in traffic. But I promised my manager I would never be late again..
The friend responds Consider yourself fortunate that you've been offered another chance. Try to leave even earlier just in case traffic is bad..
