Moral of the story: if you are looking for fairness, then don’t leave your front door. You won’t find it in the workplace. 20% do 95% of the work. Not right but it is what it is. Edited to add this last sentence.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Being a welder takes some serious skill. He's not making much more than a grocery or fast food clerk does. Actually, he is probably making less than them depending on the amount of hours he is working for 55K.

People can get into bad habits with their morning routines before work...to the point they are always late. If nobody calls them out early on it, it will usually continue. If they get an hour for lunch, cut it down to 30 min. If that doesn't work then write them up earlier. Sounds like the owner of this company wants to play favorites with the slackers and then abuse the hard working rule followers. I would get out of there, but find a better job first.

In the mid-1990's, my husband had a subordinate who was like this; chronically late, always with an excuse. One day, he took the employee aside and told him, "I don't care what you have to do, set your alarm clock one hour early, whatever, but if you're late one more time, you're done here!" The employee got the message, didn't go crying to management about how his feelers were hurt or any cr@p like that. He was on time, every time from then on out. That's how it SHOULD be!

Justin, please line up another job ASAP! I speak from personal experience, even though I worked in a different profession in the tech world. That guy they’re sending for ‘training’? Yeah, they’re getting ready to push you out of your job within a year’s time. It’s nothing you’ve done; they probably see him as the ‘next great thing’ to come along. Perhaps he dazzles them with his client communication skills and they figure he needs just a bit more technical training. He’s already proven himself to be a bit of a slacker, coming in late. Now, does he stay later, or work through his lunch or breaks to make up for arriving late? He might have a good reason, although by your call, he’s just a slacker. You’ve got 8 years experience, along with a larger skill set. You might have to cast your net a little further from your home to secure a job that pays more and provides you with more satisfaction. Don’t be surprised if they contact you a year after you’ve left them to please, come back, as they’ve had to fire the guy they invested time and training in.

Justin I hope that Ken's words resonated with you. By my simple math, $55k/year for an experienced welder means you are earning less than $30/hour and that is unacceptable for your skillset and your locale. Keep looking and keep the faith in yourself!

The double-edged sword of caring a great deal about your job and having those feelings stomped into the earth's crust. Until workers are held accountable for their actions or inaction, this will be the new norm. Timely feedback is critical. It should focus on the shortcoming noted only. Ways to improve performance should be provided along with a timeline to meet the needed improvement. If not, bye. The boss is a fool and for not backing this man up.

@Jedi12789 partially correct. I'll address the 1st part more in detail. Work hard and care about doing a good job. Just go by your measuring scale not the company's. If you are a person of integrity you will provide a service or product of quality. And if you are in a work place the sets you up to fall short of quality results, then that's on them. Put your fair time in, say 8 hours of hard work, and be out. Do NOT kill yourself working more than what is just, because I guarantee you that you die of a heart attack or whatever tomorrow, the company will not miss a beat before replacing you and erasing your employee ID # from their system.....because you were only that....a Number. As for the ladder climbing I briefly say this. Your Reputation Follows you, especially in this tech rich world. If you jump around from job to job without a very good reason, other companies will see you as risky and unreliable. They most likely will not hire you. Of course some companies might be in a desperate situation where they have to take you on regardless. That's my two cents.

@@JohnPaul-ol5zl wrong on the job hopping. The average American employee stays in their job around 3-4 years. Probably 2-2.5 and it’s time to start looking. Most of the time when you hop jobs you get a pay increase (not all but the majority). Almost nobody stays at an employer their entire career now. It has been statistically shown that employees that change jobs every three to four year make significantly more over the lifetime of a career, however, there are a few exceptions. You can’t argue with facts.
