@@DisneyCruiseShip No, it's going to sound like you haven't the faintest idea what it's like to be working poor. You think she had her pick of jobs and she chose the one she liked best? You also clearly have no idea about segregation in schools in the USA. The news report mentioned the bussing is because of a "transfer program" so her kids can go to a BETTER school than the one that may be within "walking distance" of where she can afford to live (in the USA, schools are funded by property taxes, which is nuts, but which means rich white neighbourhoods get better schools than poor black ones) Seriously, pick up a book once in a while.
As a bus driver in Minnesota, I picked up the kids at the same time everyday. The only time I was late was bad weather or when the bus broke down. Something is wrong with the driver if the bus is late all the time.
@@JKiler1 james I will tell you that you are more than wrong. First off schools actually amend the times school buses should be around + and the drivers actually account for the distance and time via the district. The second point I should make towards you is that why are you pushing a political agenda in a problem which doesn't need it and you have no expertise on?
@@JKiler1 did you not even read what I wrote? I quite litterally said schools amend the scheduling of buses based on the route. The fact that you avoided listing and are saying I did not prove shows that you are living an echo chamber and have no way of defending yourself if your poorly defended point (which by the way shouldn't even be here) is contested. next time please do actual research ( looking at articles that show both sides , reading up neutral articles , and looking up general facts) before making assumptions.
@@JKiler1 here you want a citation on what school officials do when it comes to buses..guide.saferoutesinfo.org/school_bus_locations/determining_school_bus_stop_locations.cfm This is an entire one that the us follows there are also many ordinances in cities and many district specific amendments to these which add more rules for planning
@@scotthayes5933 i get that she says she got fired, but getting your kids to school is ultimately the parent's job. her better options would be to contact other parents and have them take her kids to school, too, have a friend or granny wait with the kids, take the kids to school herself, arrange to drop the kids off at a different stop, or just have the kids wait on their own, i mean, damn, quit coddling your spawn cuz none of them are babies. she just doesn't have a lawsuit, as frustrating as that may be. adulting is hard sometimes! she wants her kids to go to a better school, but that involves transfers and quite a distance. the shitty third party school bus company (it's usually first student in these kinds of stories) didn't get her fired, her lack of figuring her alternatives out did. it's the typical victim mentality. as an aside, i'm a sub school bus driver and i'm consistently late because of several reasons. traffic, trains, stop lights, road construction, kids who forgot their mask, kids i have to wait on as they run out their front door, and the fact my route sheet accounts for none of that and operates under the assumption i'm able to teleport from one stop to another. on paper, i have one route that begins three minutes before my previous route is scheduled to end! there obviously is a window i'm supposed to be there, and 15 minutes is beyond that, but given everything we have to do it just is what it is. these guys don't want to be late, they're not stopping for coffee, it just sounds like there are a lot of variables out of the driver's control especially if you have to meander through a city.
I had the same problem last year. I hated it that I was late 1 hour to school and I missed the first class . The bus company was Southland. It was a small bus. They should cancel the small buses out because they are a waste money.
@Baka Matai no business in America owns slaves. Not a single person was ever forced to work where they do and the only ones that can’t simply quit are only those under contract, which they voluntarily signed. Besides, if every business paid what you might consider a “living wage”, the vast majority of the businesses forking over the extra pay would start hemorrhaging money and go under. Perhaps you don’t understand profit margins. So here’s an example: Worldwide, Walmart has about 2.3 million employees that, adjusted for US dollars, make an average of $12 per hour and 32 hours per week. Walmart sells an average of $499 billion in merchandise per year, but after taking into account payroll, cost of goods and overhead, their net profit only amounts to about $9.8 billion per year. If that was divided among all Walmart employees with zero profit to the shareholders, the average wage would be $14.56 per hour. And since most people clamor for $15 per hour as their standard of a “living wage”, yes, even Walmart cannot afford to pay a “living wage” to all employees
@Freddie Boom Boom Washington Your name and your comment confirm my suspicions of you being a total dumbass. Maybe take your nonsense somewhere else, bud.
Reminder for everyone saying “she should sue” that lawsuits are expensive and she now has no job which would make it impractical to initiate a long lawsuit like this one would end up being. Also she doesn’t have much of a grounds for a law suit imo anyway so through all those expenses she would only lose money probably.
There are attorney that do take cases that pay based on the settlements although they do take a substantial part of it because the attorney does pay out of pocket for everything and it may take a long time before it's settled. Edit: She can also sue for attorney fees on top of that. Of course they will investigate her job as well because getting fired from a job for being late because of school bus problems really don't seem to add up to why they fired her it but could be in addition to why they fired her. For example, if she opens the place of work and she's late... The business looses money and other workers are left waiting as well. Until knowing all the variables it would he hard to say if she can sue AND most importantly can she WIN. Otherwise it would be pointless if she can't win.
People lost their jobs because the government shut everything down, covid wouldn't have changed a thing, it would be like H1N1, people could have gone out. But this world is full of weaklings.. who can't assume the risk we've assumed for a thousand years, going outside into the real-world.
Here is the other thing. Some states are at-will employment states and don't have to give a reason to fire you. In this case the company had no right to fire her. She has a kid and stuff happens. But once they are off to school then mom can get to work.
that's a stupid reason to be always late tbh the kids are old enough to catch the bus on their own she apparently has a car so she could drop them off herself etc etc
We have a bus driver who LEAVS the school like 4 minutes before most classes dismiss (floors dismiss at a slightly different time because of covid) , literally leaving kids behind for no reason, and instead of telling the bus driver to be competent and look at the time, they were telling the students who ride that bus to leave early
@@nancyomalley9959 for the first day nobody and the bus left early the next few days it was said over announcements to leave early to catch that bus, but no actual reason for why he was leaving early.
Haha I remember when I was in middle school we would get to leave early the people on the higher floors to not miss the bus, but of course you needed proof at the beginning of the school year that you were talking a bus, the good old memories

People these days don’t really understand the chain reaction they could cause when they don’t do their jobs. Others will become victims of one’s irresponsibility and more often than not, they’re the ones who gets blamed for something they didn’t do or can’t control.
So the traffic wreck which held up the bus one day is too blame. Road crews working on a traffic signal light held up the bus another day is to blame. The bus company didn't get a substitute driver scheduled in time another day is to blame. Every kid who was not standing there waiting on the bus but made the bus wait for the kid to get out of the house and walk up to the bus is to blame. Sounds like everyone else is to blame.
She's not a victim. She has her own car. Get the kids ready and out of the house, into the car, drive the kids to school, drop them off and then drive her to work! Why bother to wait for the stupid bus if it's often late. She should bring the kids to school herself. If she had done that, she could have kept her job!
@Mexican Doggo like hell you don’t look into the background of the employees, regardless if you’re short staffed. It would be FAR worse to have a bus driver whose driving impaired crash and kill children than having to deal with driver shortages. And this is in no way looking a gift horse in the mouth. It’s more like taking an old mare to a vet and putting it down if it’s terminally ill.
Lo I was thinking the same thing. Here you have a story of a chronically late bus driver, and instead of interviewing him at the end of the day at the bus garage or something you interview him at a bus stop during the school day.
My bus was so late, I mean once it was 20 minuets late, so we all had to drive to school, and I got in trouble with my teacher because I “wasn’t at my desk when the bell rang”
If your teacher marked you tardy, then your parents need to speak to the principal so that s/he can tell the teacher that it's not your fault if you're late
I remember on my trip to school id take the train to the stop closest to my school, and there the bus would pick us up and drive us to school, it made a 15-25 minute walk into a 5 minute bus ride, it usually left right on time, but occasionally it would be 10 or so minutes late (still better to wait for the bus) but occasionally it just wouldn't show up at all, and so we did the long walk after waiting for a while in hopes it was just late, winding up us arriving a good 15-20 minutes late to our 1 hour classes - luckily though a couple of teachers took the train bus also and they'd give us notes to show our teachers
I can relate to the kids about a late school bus. My bus didn't have a driver when I wrnt into 11th grade, so I was put onto another and the driver had to drive a double route. My bus is supposed to come at 8:25, but some times, the bus didn't come until 9. Another time when I was in 10th grade, I had a different driver that was out on medical leave due to surgery, so we had a substitute. There was 8 of us at a stop and we stood there for 30 minutes. I called the school and they transferred me to transportation. They said our bus picks up at 7:50 when we didnt get picked up until 8:20. I even spoke to the person who drove and we were furious. We waited another 20 minutes until we decided to walk to school, which is about a 4 mile walk. We spent over an hour walking to school and we didnt even get there until 10:30, which ment we had to walk an hour and a half. I complained to my teacher because my legs were throbbing and killing me and he took me to the office and complained about how me and my friends at the bus stop had to put ourselves in danger to get to school. My dad eventually heard about it too and he called the board of education, which resulted to the substitute to not drive for our high school anymore.
same @RAWsawXp but for me it wasn't that my bus didn't have a bus driver (cuz it did) but she would always show up late and i would sometimes have to wait in the cold for more than a hour (like until 8:40-9 ish and that's if she came but if she didn't i would have to walk to school which is a good 20 minutes away from where i live). everything was solved out tho cuz we ended out getting a new bus driver who would show up SUPER early and would leave us behind if we weren't at our stop (which wasn't really a problem for me cuz i would show up early anyway). i called transportation multiple times too and they were pretty helpful actually and would sometimes send other buses to pick us up if our assigned bus driver didn't show up (which was pretty common for her like i mentioned). my mom was pissed tho cuz she said it wasn't good for my health to be waiting outside with heavy winds for a long period of time but my school didn't care when she went to complain.
But is he old enough to drive them to school when the bus doesn't arrive? Is he old enough to be able to defend his little bros when there's creeps? No
@@gonnagohate3230 It‘s not like ‚creeps‘ instantly appear when they smell children without an adult. They are three, can scream for help, and probably know the way back to their home if the bus doesn‘t arrive. For emergencys they should also have a cell phone to call someone. It‘s really not that hard.
The child laws in your country are so strict. If she leaves those kids by themselves am sure CPS would take them from her. Like that mum who was working and had left her kids at the hotel room where she worked. It is choosing between keeping the kids and getting fired.
@@spaceygnat19908 Just cause she has the ability too doesnt mean its the best thing for the family taking your kids to school in a car diverts a ton of time away from a job that parents have to spend at to pay for thier food and shelter
@@newsance2u ? Best thing for the family? bro she lost her job. There is also such thing called a car pool. I guess only good parents are willing to go the extra mile to help there kids. Edit: wake up early omg so revolutionary if she wakes up 10-20 minutes it might actually give her more time to get them to the school and then go to work.
This is silly to me...buses are rarely on time. The real issue is her job. They should have just told her to come in 30min to an hour later for work so that she is on time. I've never worked anywhere that won't accomodate a mom's schedule.
I agree. I used to be a school bus driver and it's difficult to be on time because traffic, lights, mechanical problems, previous drivers leaving messes, and many other things can make a driver late to the stop. She should ask her job for some accommodations so she could get her kids to school before her work day begins.
Unfortunately, your job doesn't have to accomadate anyone. Its a luxury if you find a job that will. If you just started (under 6 months) or you are a temp.. There is a 99% chance they won't be flexible with you.
I have had same problem.. and my work said it wasn't their problem they ran on a schedule period no delays .. we as working moms depend on school buses I didnt want my kids bused when a school was 10 min away I HAD NO CHOICE IN IT because of the SCHOOL DISTRICTS RULES to bus kids .. I thought it was a STUPID idea than and I still think it is...
@@debbiebalnaves4842 You can still take them to school in your vehicle. The school district cannot legally force you to have your child take the bus. So long as your child does not miss school.
Wow, really you're lucky. I worked for a major fortune 500 company for many years that wouldn't accommodate schedules , unless you're like a manager or higher up. Schedules are based on business need. So if they need u there at 6am or until 6pm, whatever time the schedules are, that's when u need to be there, regardless if u have kids to take to school. Which is why I had to spend thousands over the years in childcare at my sons school ,to be able to drop him off before school and pick him up a couple hours after school ended, but not all schools have this nor can all parents afford this.
I live in Canada and on one of the coldest days of the year the bus was almost an hour late. The new bus driver said that she couldn’t see which street to turn onto because the sun was blinding her. She spent 45 minutes driving up and down the same road. Most kids had left by that time but both my parents started work really early and I had no one else to drive me and the roads were way to dangerous to walk to school. It was around -30 and I was lucky I didn’t get frostbite. I’m just glad I was in middle school by that time and not a little kid.
This is not an isolated thing happens all the time. Kids bus has arrived after school has already started more than once. It's because there aren't enough busses and they often have to bus multiple schools on the same bus
@@shirin8609 How is it unexpected? When I was in school my bus came usually about 5-10 minutes late, but at least once or twice a week it would come 20-30 minutes late. (Which didn't make me late for school since our school district shared busses with a couple other school districts nearby and our buses dropped us off for school ridiculously early, but it did mean being out in the cold in weather where you could get frostbite if you weren't careful). I'd think it's probably less common for buses to be consistently on time than for them to frequently come late
@@SC-wk2mt Holy crap! That's not normal, at all. It sounds like there was a serious lack of oversight when it came to your bus route and the one in this clip.
Ye I remember my school bus came 20 minutes late and one time my bus showed up 1 to 2 hours late due to the bus failure as they had to bring another one and I missed almost 2 of my first lessons
@@stinkstink69 nope, it's not like that. They just come to my house and I waited inside. Also I would take a taxi instead of waiting but it's expensive as heck, $20 in my currency just to go to school. I live in UAE
My bus back in junior high was constantly late by at least 5 minutes, to the point where that could be considered to be the official time. After moving up to highschool, the bus was late by 5+ minutes maybe 2-3 times a year.
I'd consider a 10 minute window of arrival a pretty consistent and reasonable window. Especially with how long some of these routes are. They cant control traffic. But leaving a stop when you know you're early is pretty scummy.
Wow.this ridiculous.this is not fair to her that she had to lose her job.this happens to plenty of children too.the buses in the morning are always ridiculous late.like sometimes my bus would come late and plus it’s winter Too.these buses need to stop doing this to these students.it’s not fair to them.why should kids be standing out in the freezing cold.that’s how kids could get sick.

No she shouldn‘t. If she‘s late EVERY DAY, maybe just try not being late instead of screaming how unfair that is. Those kids are old enough to wait for the bus on their own, so either you want to be with your children and get yourself another job, or you want the one you have and start it at the time you and your employer agreed on.

She was constantly late to work. You can't be late constantly and expect to keep your job. I understand its not the mothers fault but its also not fair to the company she works for for her to constantly be late. Companies need people they can rely on.
There are lots of jobs that dont allow tardiness. My fiancé works in a factory and he isnt allowed to be late more than twice a year or he'll be fired. Most places dont give af about your home life.
When I was in 8th grade, I dealt with a period where the school bus often never came, or came so extraordinarily late that I would have to call family. It was honestly a scary experience because before my bus would come when it was on time, my parents would both already leave for work. Fortunately my grandmother lived in town and either she would take me to school, or she'd get my uncle who was often in town to take me, but it was still a massive headache and I'd always have to wait for my grandma or uncle to pick me up after several minutes. This meant I would obviously be late to school and was stuck at my house until one of them could come. Fortunately the extra time at my house gave me an excuse back during these times in 2013 and 2014 to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf. :P
I had the same problem during the same school year, except I was in fifth grade (last year of elementary school). In November 2013, the bus driver we had quit and found a new job. From November to January, the bus in the morning never showed up on time once. Not even once. The very least was 10 minutes late. About 10-15 times it was more than 35 minutes and mom would have to drive my friend and I into school since we had a substitute driver who ended up having to do extra runs everyday, and the other elementary school he drove for was on the other side of town. Thankfully we got a new driver two months later, she was very nice and actually gave us cookies at the end of the year.
@@TheDel4873 Wow. One time during that year, my school bus, because it never came, and I had to wait on my uncle, I ended up almost entirely missing my English class.
That’s why kids should go to school in their district. Trying to bus these kids 30 minutes away with unpredictable traffic in a city like that, there’s no way that bus will be there the same time every day. That’s unfortunate. I hope she found a better job.
You dont have children ..... They are small enough to be overpowered by some sicko stuffed in a van and never seen again...... And if you do have children I will pray for them
This is more common than you think. They show up when they get ready as if parents don't have a job. You don"t hear as much because many parent make up the hours, have understanding bosses or jobs are flexible.
My bus would almost always be 20 minutes late. I’d show up late to class constantly. But sometime, SOMETIMES, they would show up EARLY and almost everyone at the stop would miss the bus that day because they can’t manage any form of consistency
This seems like a problem for her boss, not the bus company. You can’t expect a bus to always be there at the exact minute they are scheduled to arrive. Never know what could happen on the road that delays them.
Blame the bus company for your work issues. If the bus is always late and you are on thin ice for being consonantly late for work, and you have a car, just drive them to school yourself and then go to work.
The school is 30 minutes away so she would have to leave before 7am to guarantee the kids would be at school around 7:30am and who knows if the school is even open yet and then then she would have speed back another 30 minutes to hopefully get to work and not deal with traffic issues. The mother also said they need the money so who is going to pay the gas for her new 1 hour drive five days a week to the school. And if she can’t afford a reliable car then what?
Lesson: how the fuck do you end up as a single mom of FOUR? Although being 5 minutes late is a silly excuse to fire someone. Timings don't seem to apply for some reason while leaving the office.
my bus consistantly came 10 minutes late every day but every once in a while it came on time but i would miss it because i would be expecting the normal time. It was so annoying.
My bus was rarely late. And the few times it was. My bus driver apologized and said it was cause because the usual bus we rode on wouldn't start (usually happened in winter, when it was really cold). And only a few times was it early.
I was one of the very last stops as a kid. That driver was great, Only ran late when weather or the bus had a bad day. And we'd know about the bus having a bad day because we'd be greeted by a Conventional Nose International instead of the COE BlueBird. Now the only time I'm on a bus is for the county fair - Them Thomasbilt Safe-T-Liner C2 buses are nicer than that old BlueBird. For me, it was 3 blocks to the school. But dad worked Swing shift and was dead asleep by the time we were getting up for school and mom didnt drive back then. She's only been licensed for about 4 or 5 years now. Once I turned 8 I started cycling to school on most days. Ran the wheels off that old 6-speed Next Lynx bicycle. Replaced that with a womens' frame Next Avalon, rode that thing to a retirement at 3800 miles, replaced that with another Avalon (men's frame), and replaced that with a 2015 Breezer Uptown EX. That Breezer barely has 200 miles on it now. So much for using the heck out of a $500 7 speed hybrid city bike.
I grew up going to school in the middle of buttfuck nowhere central rural Ohio and the bus driver never was more than 7-9 minutes late, even when picking up around 50 kids on a route that spanned around 30 miles radius since the school was so broke they could only hire like ten bus drivers for the entire damn area. Corey, wherever you are, you done a splendid job, my dude. The only days I was ever late to school was when a substitute driver came. They were never as good. So thank you dude, don’t know what middle and high school would’ve been without you. Sincerely, that kid too poor for a car with no friends to drive.
This is why I would consider walking to school (if it is nearby), driving to school, or even better, have someone give you a ride to school (except for the bus driver)

Seriously though, the most bizarre part of this story is the fact that elementary students catch the bus to school at 7:31 PM. Even when I was in college, both undergrad and graduate, I never had classes start that late in the evening.
When I 1st read your comment, I was like um I thino he misread the video. Them I went back and read that it does indeed say PM and not AM. I think the news station made a typo. There is no way those kids are going to school at almost 8pm at night no way! Lol

@@Fiyera If the bus doesn't show up then the kid would go inside and call his mom. Since most people these days don't have landlines latchkey kids should be given a basic flip phone at the very least.
OK let's think outside the box. Chances are the school isn't close to her house or the kids could have walked. Also good chance the school and her work aren't in the same direction. Good chance that she didn't have a car, so was relying on public transportation which has a very set schedule and if the school bus was late, she couldn't make it to the public transportation on time. But let's say she does have her own car. Let's say she's supposed to be at work by 8:30 and it takes her 45 minutes to get to work. If the school bus shows up on time (7:31) then she'll just have enough time to get to work (barring any bad traffic). However, the later the school bus comes, the more likely she will be late to work. And yet you want her to magically have a car, drive that car an unknown distance in an unknown direction to take her kids to school, then drive another unknown distance in another unknown direction to work, all the while you have no idea what kind of time frame she's dealing with. Totally sounds like a reasonable request by you. 😑
My bus drivers have to pick up multiple schools every morning and some students are late to the bus, meaning the bus driver normally waits like fifteen seconds. This adds up a lot. It’s also why bus drivers are late coming to the school in the afternoon. It’s not always the bus drivers fault.
@@MadaiuYsnahc a good bus driver arrives to the yard with enough time to handle any issues that may come up with the bus. No excuses to be delayed or late ever.
@@BNSFfan2373 Yeah, that's not true. If there is a problem with the bus it has to go to the shop. Drivers have no control over how long the shop will take to do whatever needs to be done. If the driver has to be assigned a temporary bus, they have no way of knowing how long that will take either. I can tell that you're not a bus driver who works for a private bus company based on your response.
@@MadaiuYsnahc yeah, it is true. The spare bus should not take long to get ready either. Your right, im a trucker and I arrive to the yard early every morning with plenty of extra time to do my pre trip, address any issues or get a spare truck if needed and still depart on time, like a professional who takes his job seriously does. There are very very very few reasons as to why being late is acceptable. Being late is rude and disrespectful and shows you do not care about your job, customers or passengers.
I had a driver who would be up to 15 minutes early on some days and up to 20-25 mins late on the majority. It was so frustrating never knowing if he'd already come by, because I already had to walk all the way down my long street just to get picked up.
My bus driver was always late. One time he completely drove past us at my stop and I had to call the bus transport to get him to come back. We were over an hour late for school and he made the excuse that he couldn’t “see us” despite being on an open street. He ended up getting fired for repeated offenses like this
Around 70% of my school district's bus drivers went on strike last year, so kids were waiting for an hour or sometimes even longer to get to school/home. I wonder if any parents got screwed over by that like this woman.
up to a certain point and depending on the company. if you work in a factory, production doesn't start until you get there, and that's a problem real quick if it's once or twice a week.
Because your bosses were idiots. Being late for multiple consecutive days sets off a chain reaction about which you won't be aware of due to being of childish mentality. The boss losses money every minute. Did he cut this person's pay whenever she showed late I am certain he/she didn't
Because the district was 30 minutes away according to the video. You try driving your kids 30 minutes to and from school everyday on what looks like not a lot of money that they already have.
One time my mother called the school to have me put on a different bus that would take me to my aunt's house. It's the only time I ever had to ride a different house. She asked them to put on the note I'd need who's house I was going to. The just put the address which I didn't recognize at all. The bus driver took my note and assumed I knew where I was going, she didn't look at the note at all. One of my friends rode that bus and we talked about how neither of us knew where I was going and decided that since it was near his house I'd go there. An hour after I got off the bus she showed up again yelling at me and cussed me out. If she'd read my note she would have known I wasn't getting off at the right place. Instead she actually left me wherever I wanted to get off.
Okay..that solves the bus problem. What about the mother getting her job back?
Why on earth would she want to go back to the job she just humiliated on TV?
well she needs some sort of income! Sue the bus!
This is going to sound crazy but why doesn't she get a different job? And she should have picked a school that is in walking distance.

@@ryanbarker5217 it still got her fired so the school district should be liable.
@@scotthayes5933 i get that she says she got fired, but getting your kids to school is ultimately the parent's job.
her better options would be to contact other parents and have them take her kids to school, too, have a friend or granny wait with the kids, take the kids to school herself, arrange to drop the kids off at a different stop, or just have the kids wait on their own, i mean, damn, quit coddling your spawn cuz none of them are babies.
she just doesn't have a lawsuit, as frustrating as that may be. adulting is hard sometimes! she wants her kids to go to a better school, but that involves transfers and quite a distance.
the shitty third party school bus company (it's usually first student in these kinds of stories) didn't get her fired, her lack of figuring her alternatives out did. it's the typical victim mentality.
as an aside, i'm a sub school bus driver and i'm consistently late because of several reasons. traffic, trains, stop lights, road construction, kids who forgot their mask, kids i have to wait on as they run out their front door, and the fact my route sheet accounts for none of that and operates under the assumption i'm able to teleport from one stop to another. on paper, i have one route that begins three minutes before my previous route is scheduled to end!
there obviously is a window i'm supposed to be there, and 15 minutes is beyond that, but given everything we have to do it just is what it is. these guys don't want to be late, they're not stopping for coffee, it just sounds like there are a lot of variables out of the driver's control especially if you have to meander through a city.

@Baka Matai no business in America owns slaves. Not a single person was ever forced to work where they do and the only ones that can’t simply quit are only those under contract, which they voluntarily signed. Besides, if every business paid what you might consider a “living wage”, the vast majority of the businesses forking over the extra pay would start hemorrhaging money and go under. Perhaps you don’t understand profit margins. So here’s an example:
Worldwide, Walmart has about 2.3 million employees that, adjusted for US dollars, make an average of $12 per hour and 32 hours per week. Walmart sells an average of $499 billion in merchandise per year, but after taking into account payroll, cost of goods and overhead, their net profit only amounts to about $9.8 billion per year. If that was divided among all Walmart employees with zero profit to the shareholders, the average wage would be $14.56 per hour. And since most people clamor for $15 per hour as their standard of a “living wage”, yes, even Walmart cannot afford to pay a “living wage” to all employees

@Freddie Boom Boom Washington Your name and your comment confirm my suspicions of you being a total dumbass. Maybe take your nonsense somewhere else, bud.
Reminder for everyone saying “she should sue” that lawsuits are expensive and she now has no job which would make it impractical to initiate a long lawsuit like this one would end up being. Also she doesn’t have much of a grounds for a law suit imo anyway so through all those expenses she would only lose money probably.
She should set up a gofundme while this is new and fresh to get the cash to sue.
There are attorney that do take cases that pay based on the settlements although they do take a substantial part of it because the attorney does pay out of pocket for everything and it may take a long time before it's settled.
Edit: She can also sue for attorney fees on top of that.
Of course they will investigate her job as well because getting fired from a job for being late because of school bus problems really don't seem to add up to why they fired her it but could be in addition to why they fired her. For example, if she opens the place of work and she's late... The business looses money and other workers are left waiting as well. Until knowing all the variables it would he hard to say if she can sue AND most importantly can she WIN. Otherwise it would be pointless if she can't win.
@@iaminevitable936 she can’t win. She clearly looks like a meth addict.

I can relate to the kids about a late school bus. My bus didn't have a driver when I wrnt into 11th grade, so I was put onto another and the driver had to drive a double route. My bus is supposed to come at 8:25, but some times, the bus didn't come until 9. Another time when I was in 10th grade, I had a different driver that was out on medical leave due to surgery, so we had a substitute. There was 8 of us at a stop and we stood there for 30 minutes. I called the school and they transferred me to transportation. They said our bus picks up at 7:50 when we didnt get picked up until 8:20. I even spoke to the person who drove and we were furious. We waited another 20 minutes until we decided to walk to school, which is about a 4 mile walk. We spent over an hour walking to school and we didnt even get there until 10:30, which ment we had to walk an hour and a half. I complained to my teacher because my legs were throbbing and killing me and he took me to the office and complained about how me and my friends at the bus stop had to put ourselves in danger to get to school. My dad eventually heard about it too and he called the board of education, which resulted to the substitute to not drive for our high school anymore.
same @RAWsawXp but for me it wasn't that my bus didn't have a bus driver (cuz it did) but she would always show up late and i would sometimes have to wait in the cold for more than a hour (like until 8:40-9 ish and that's if she came but if she didn't i would have to walk to school which is a good 20 minutes away from where i live). everything was solved out tho cuz we ended out getting a new bus driver who would show up SUPER early and would leave us behind if we weren't at our stop (which wasn't really a problem for me cuz i would show up early anyway). i called transportation multiple times too and they were pretty helpful actually and would sometimes send other buses to pick us up if our assigned bus driver didn't show up (which was pretty common for her like i mentioned). my mom was pissed tho cuz she said it wasn't good for my health to be waiting outside with heavy winds for a long period of time but my school didn't care when she went to complain.

This is silly to me...buses are rarely on time. The real issue is her job. They should have just told her to come in 30min to an hour later for work so that she is on time. I've never worked anywhere that won't accomodate a mom's schedule.
I agree. I used to be a school bus driver and it's difficult to be on time because traffic, lights, mechanical problems, previous drivers leaving messes, and many other things can make a driver late to the stop. She should ask her job for some accommodations so she could get her kids to school before her work day begins.
Unfortunately, your job doesn't have to accomadate anyone. Its a luxury if you find a job that will.

Schedules are based on business need. So if they need u there at 6am or until 6pm, whatever time the schedules are, that's when u need to be there, regardless if u have kids to take to school.

Fortunately my grandmother lived in town and either she would take me to school, or she'd get my uncle who was often in town to take me, but it was still a massive headache and I'd always have to wait for my grandma or uncle to pick me up after several minutes. This meant I would obviously be late to school and was stuck at my house until one of them could come.
Fortunately the extra time at my house gave me an excuse back during these times in 2013 and 2014 to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf. :P
I had the same problem during the same school year, except I was in fifth grade (last year of elementary school). In November 2013, the bus driver we had quit and found a new job. From November to January, the bus in the morning never showed up on time once. Not even once. The very least was 10 minutes late. About 10-15 times it was more than 35 minutes and mom would have to drive my friend and I into school since we had a substitute driver who ended up having to do extra runs everyday, and the other elementary school he drove for was on the other side of town. Thankfully we got a new driver two months later, she was very nice and actually gave us cookies at the end of the year.
@@TheDel4873 Wow. One time during that year, my school bus, because it never came, and I had to wait on my uncle, I ended up almost entirely missing my English class.
Who honestly arrives at 7 in the evening? The office will be closed already! 10 mins late is one thing, but not 10 hours. Get real.
Why not take her kids early
@Jane Cat3 it said in the video that when the bus doesn’t come she drives them to school
That’s why kids should go to school in their district. Trying to bus these kids 30 minutes away with unpredictable traffic in a city like that, there’s no way that bus will be there the same time every day. That’s unfortunate. I hope she found a better job.
Never heard of a school bus coming at 7:31PM
Ha, I didn’t even notice that 😂
Unless it’s a night school🤷🏽♀️
@@kennedi7111 there’s no buses in night school
They meant AM.
Why did she not just leave them in the bus stop they look old enough to be by them selfs
I think if the kid is in Elementary school the parent has to be there.
@@iseetrains not me in my elementary school you had to be at least 6
Depends on State laws...some States may require students to be of a certain age to be left unattended at a bus stop.
You dont have children ..... They are small enough to be overpowered by some sicko stuffed in a van and never seen again...... And if you do have children I will pray for them
I wish there was more parents like her who are actually concerned with their kids
7:31 P.M and 7:46 P.M how does that pass and make it on the news and you actually put it in your thumbnail too wow lol
Poor woman. This is unacceptable. I hope she got reimbursed and has a job again.
This is more common than you think. They show up when they get ready as if parents don't have a job. You don"t hear as much because many parent make up the hours, have understanding bosses or jobs are flexible.
My bus would almost always be 20 minutes late. I’d show up late to class constantly. But sometime, SOMETIMES, they would show up EARLY and almost everyone at the stop would miss the bus that day because they can’t manage any form of consistency
The school bus driver should be fired and the mom should get a raise
My bus is always 5-10 minutes late every day and we never get to eat breakfast at school
This seems like a problem for her boss, not the bus company. You can’t expect a bus to always be there at the exact minute they are scheduled to arrive. Never know what could happen on the road that delays them.
I would almost bet there's more to this story.
Such as?
Blame the bus company for your work issues. If the bus is always late and you are on thin ice for being consonantly late for work, and you have a car, just drive them to school yourself and then go to work.
Her work schedule most likely goes against the kids school schedule. It’s not always so black and white you know.
The school is 30 minutes away so she would have to leave before 7am to guarantee the kids would be at school around 7:30am and who knows if the school is even open yet and then then she would have speed back another 30 minutes to hopefully get to work and not deal with traffic issues. The mother also said they need the money so who is going to pay the gas for her new 1 hour drive five days a week to the school. And if she can’t afford a reliable car then what?
This happened all the time since I was the only kid at the bus stop. They would constantly skip my stop.
Lesson: how the fuck do you end up as a single mom of FOUR?
Although being 5 minutes late is a silly excuse to fire someone. Timings don't seem to apply for some reason while leaving the office.
Algorithm brought us together once again!
Yess
Yep 😂
I was the only one at my bus stop once and It was late so I just walked home and didn't go to class lol.
I would give that woman a raise if I was the boss. She just proved that she's a dedicated mother.
my bus consistantly came 10 minutes late every day but every once in a while it came on time but i would miss it because i would be expecting the normal time. It was so annoying.
My bus was rarely late. And the few times it was. My bus driver apologized and said it was cause because the usual bus we rode on wouldn't start (usually happened in winter, when it was really cold). And only a few times was it early.
I was one of the very last stops as a kid. That driver was great, Only ran late when weather or the bus had a bad day. And we'd know about the bus having a bad day because we'd be greeted by a Conventional Nose International instead of the COE BlueBird. Now the only time I'm on a bus is for the county fair - Them Thomasbilt Safe-T-Liner C2 buses are nicer than that old BlueBird.
For me, it was 3 blocks to the school. But dad worked Swing shift and was dead asleep by the time we were getting up for school and mom didnt drive back then. She's only been licensed for about 4 or 5 years now. Once I turned 8 I started cycling to school on most days. Ran the wheels off that old 6-speed Next Lynx bicycle.
Replaced that with a womens' frame Next Avalon, rode that thing to a retirement at 3800 miles, replaced that with another Avalon (men's frame), and replaced that with a 2015 Breezer Uptown EX. That Breezer barely has 200 miles on it now. So much for using the heck out of a $500 7 speed hybrid city bike.
I was going to say that “people need to stop being petty”, until they said that it was like this every way.
It wasn’t petty. She lost her job over this
I don't understand how you can just arrive at the right time it's so easy
I grew up going to school in the middle of buttfuck nowhere central rural Ohio and the bus driver never was more than 7-9 minutes late, even when picking up around 50 kids on a route that spanned around 30 miles radius since the school was so broke they could only hire like ten bus drivers for the entire damn area. Corey, wherever you are, you done a splendid job, my dude. The only days I was ever late to school was when a substitute driver came. They were never as good. So thank you dude, don’t know what middle and high school would’ve been without you. Sincerely, that kid too poor for a car with no friends to drive.
I would be 15 minutes early for my bus. There were times it wouldn't come at all.
This is why I would consider walking to school (if it is nearby), driving to school, or even better, have someone give you a ride to school (except for the bus driver)
Thats only an option for people who have the privilege of doing that
@@merrymerry8495 i being picked up in a bus to the doorstep of corner of your house is the real privilege
Personally I like the solution of just teleporting to school. Honestly, it's the mothers fault for not teaching them how to teleport smh
Happens here too, it’s very difficult.
When I was a elementary kid we waited at the bus stop. Didn't need parents holding hands
Those kids seem old enough to handle that. Obviously if they are kindergarten age then it's a different story.
@@tomv5988 it legit said they went to an elementary school. they very well could be in a dangerous neighborhood where waiting outside for a long time isnt safe.
the world is harsh now adays....my aunt walked my cousin to the bus stop everyday...and the day she didnt...someone shot her oldest son when he tried to save her lil girl(8) from being kidnapped AT THE BUS STOP
Seriously though, the most bizarre part of this story is the fact that elementary students catch the bus to school at 7:31 PM. Even when I was in college, both undergrad and graduate, I never had classes start that late in the evening.
When I 1st read your comment, I was like um I thino he misread the video. Them I went back and read that it does indeed say PM and not AM. I think the news station made a typo. There is no way those kids are going to school at almost 8pm at night no way! Lol
They don't. They probably catch the bus at 7:30 A.M. If you have been to college, you should know that children do not go to school at night!!!!!!!!
School buses are freakin’ frustrating like that. Stressy stress stress stress
Driver can be as late as he wants but if your 15-30 seconds late they’ll leave you abs act like you’re the one in the wrong but be late and sometimes very late and no telling when that bus will come.
Something seems off here. Her oldest kid looks plenty old enough to be given a key and get himself and his siblings on the bus.
What if the bus doesn't show up though? Something does seem off about the situation, but I don't think that's it.
@@Fiyera If the bus doesn't show up then the kid would go inside and call his mom. Since most people these days don't have landlines latchkey kids should be given a basic flip phone at the very least.
Best condom commercial I’ve ever seen
Worst racist comment I have ever heard. People of all races have children.
@@Michelle-pn9xt how the hell is this racist
Lot of the times buses are late because nobody will sit down and shut up
She could have drove the kids early every day and left for work early as well. Seems like a shitty excuse.
OK let's think outside the box. Chances are the school isn't close to her house or the kids could have walked. Also good chance the school and her work aren't in the same direction. Good chance that she didn't have a car, so was relying on public transportation which has a very set schedule and if the school bus was late, she couldn't make it to the public transportation on time. But let's say she does have her own car. Let's say she's supposed to be at work by 8:30 and it takes her 45 minutes to get to work. If the school bus shows up on time (7:31) then she'll just have enough time to get to work (barring any bad traffic). However, the later the school bus comes, the more likely she will be late to work. And yet you want her to magically have a car, drive that car an unknown distance in an unknown direction to take her kids to school, then drive another unknown distance in another unknown direction to work, all the while you have no idea what kind of time frame she's dealing with. Totally sounds like a reasonable request by you. 😑
@@scrappymom7881 Listen what the reporter says at 1:32, " Drive her kids to school herself."
7:00 PM I'M NOT HAPPY 😡
That was supposed to say am it's a typo
a bus driver with any common sense should be able to figure out how to be on time. "a delay at the yard" or some shit isnt a good reason.
My bus drivers have to pick up multiple schools every morning and some students are late to the bus, meaning the bus driver normally waits like fifteen seconds. This adds up a lot. It’s also why bus drivers are late coming to the school in the afternoon. It’s not always the bus drivers fault.
It wasn't a delay at the yard. A good bus driver doesn't drive a bus that is not safe to drive. That is a good reason for a bus driver to be late.
@@MadaiuYsnahc a good bus driver arrives to the yard with enough time to handle any issues that may come up with the bus. No excuses to be delayed or late ever.
@@BNSFfan2373 Yeah, that's not true. If there is a problem with the bus it has to go to the shop. Drivers have no control over how long the shop will take to do whatever needs to be done. If the driver has to be assigned a temporary bus, they have no way of knowing how long that will take either. I can tell that you're not a bus driver who works for a private bus company based on your response.
@@MadaiuYsnahc yeah, it is true. The spare bus should not take long to get ready either. Your right, im a trucker and I arrive to the yard early every morning with plenty of extra time to do my pre trip, address any issues or get a spare truck if needed and still depart on time, like a professional who takes his job seriously does. There are very very very few reasons as to why being late is acceptable. Being late is rude and disrespectful and shows you do not care about your job, customers or passengers.
I had a driver who would be up to 15 minutes early on some days and up to 20-25 mins late on the majority. It was so frustrating never knowing if he'd already come by, because I already had to walk all the way down my long street just to get picked up.
My bus came 1 hour late once
My bus driver was always late. One time he completely drove past us at my stop and I had to call the bus transport to get him to come back. We were over an hour late for school and he made the excuse that he couldn’t “see us” despite being on an open street. He ended up getting fired for repeated offenses like this
I literally just saw another video about that same company, a bus driver was not letting the kids off the bus
I feel your pain single parent no reliable family member
Around 70% of my school district's bus drivers went on strike last year, so kids were waiting for an hour or sometimes even longer to get to school/home. I wonder if any parents got screwed over by that like this woman.
How many times has she been late ? Usually you won't get in trouble if it's an emergency
up to a certain point and depending on the company. if you work in a factory, production doesn't start until you get there, and that's a problem real quick if it's once or twice a week.
Wow
First student is a horrible system!
Sounds like the employer is unreasonable. I've never worked somewhere that would fire you over being 15 min late over child care.
Because your bosses were idiots. Being late for multiple consecutive days sets off a chain reaction about which you won't be aware of due to being of childish mentality. The boss losses money every minute. Did he cut this person's pay whenever she showed late I am certain he/she didn't
I’m sure the father of the house could pick up some slack at his job until the mom got this figured out
She's a single mom. Obviously.
Why can’t or couldn’t she drive them to school?
Because the district was 30 minutes away according to the video. You try driving your kids 30 minutes to and from school everyday on what looks like not a lot of money that they already have.
its a 30 min drive, and then she has to drive back, so she would be over an hour late to work
One time my mother called the school to have me put on a different bus that would take me to my aunt's house. It's the only time I ever had to ride a different house. She asked them to put on the note I'd need who's house I was going to. The just put the address which I didn't recognize at all.
The bus driver took my note and assumed I knew where I was going, she didn't look at the note at all. One of my friends rode that bus and we talked about how neither of us knew where I was going and decided that since it was near his house I'd go there.
An hour after I got off the bus she showed up again yelling at me and cussed me out. If she'd read my note she would have known I wasn't getting off at the right place. Instead she actually left me wherever I wanted to get off.
She should sue the crap out of the school bus company
Bless her heart I hope she got her job back.😝
