Today, my coworker was supposed to pick me up to go to a work event as my car is broken. I waited 3 hours and he never showed. After he arrived late to the event due to traffic, he told my boss that he waited for me and I never came out. Guess who's unemployed now. FML

Why didn't you had call when it was obvious that it was too late for you to arrive on time. It was still your responsibility to notify them if you expected to be late or absent.

Coworkers are coworkers, don't mistake them as friends. Always got to watch your own back when you're working.

Just because they are coworkers doesn’t mean they won’t try to screw you over if possible. You always call your boss to let them know that you’re going to late or can’t make it for any reason. Gotta cover yourself. YDI for not at least letting your boss know.

Didn’t you call/text your coworker when they weren’t on time? Show your boss the record if you did, otherwise ydi.
