Jan 25, 2018 at 18:39 comment added Krispyz @Adam Smith I don't know exactly how she phrased it to my supervisor. From what she told me, I believe she said something closer to your latter example. However, I do know this coworker is not great with her wording at times and she could have come across as accusing us of not helping her.
Jan 25, 2018 at 18:35 comment added Krispyz @Paparazzi sorry for being unclear. I offered to my coworker to stay and help her. She said something along the lines of "I don't think that's necessary". The next day, when I discovered she did want to leave earlier, I reiterated to get that I was serious in my offer and that if she had asked me to stay that would have been perfectly fine. I think she primarily felt guilty about wanting to ask me to stay.

Jan 24, 2018 at 0:02 comment added Adam Smith My way of handling your co-worker with your supervisor would be different if she said: "Alice and Bob live closer to work than me, they should stay longer" instead of "I cannot stay longer because I live far, how could we solve this?". Which one was closer to what she said?

Jan 23, 2018 at 18:02 comment added AndreiROM I suggest editing the post to clarify what your actual question is. Which may still get closed, because what may be fair in one situation, may not be fair in another - it's very subjective to the situation.

Jan 23, 2018 at 17:54 comment added Krispyz @Rui F Ribeiro unfortunately, the jobs we are trained in require specific people to have different hours. My department doesn't really shift around job responsibilities expect when individuals need to be covered due to time off/sickness, etc. In any case, that solution is beyond what I feel I could suggest to my supervisor.
Jan 23, 2018 at 17:51 comment added Krispyz @AndreiROM My primary question is in the title, I asked multiple specific questions later in the body to explain what I was really looking for. I have seen this in many posts and it seems to help get a more clear answer. Sorry if that was confusing.

Jan 23, 2018 at 17:40 comment added Rui F Ribeiro @DavidK The OP is focusing on who has to stay until late; travelling during the day it is less dangerous and there are more people out there to help you. Honestly, in her shoes, if I were the scapegoat selected to cover for the whole office every single day, I would start polishing my CV.
Jan 23, 2018 at 17:39 comment added David K @RuiFRibeiro How does that help? Sometime it snows in the afternoon and you should leave early. Sometimes it snows in the morning and you should come late. Weather isn't really dependent on time of day.
Jan 23, 2018 at 17:36 comment added Rui F Ribeiro The more logical thing here would be in Winter time to change the work hours of the three people living nearby to the later shifts, making turns of who keeps up until later between the three, and changing who lives father to the earlier shifts.
