Both, I didn't really get a warning before this and I don't think companies need to give a certain number. I was totally surprised. Mainly because the reason I fell behind was because of her giving me other things to do, things that she wanted done right away. She is very inconsistent with what she wants. She will have me start one thing and then pull me away to do something else in the middle.
And the letter says "final warning"
So it is your first and final warning. It sounds like she has already made up her mind and is going to give you DAS BOOT!
The paperwork is likely just a formality to follow company policy in order to prevent potential wrongful termination lawsuits.
By not a job requirement, I should have said not in my job description and my boss is the one that asked me to do that task. I didn't have to but I did it to show I'm a team player.
If your boss asked you to do X and it's not in your normal job duties, do it anyway. Never back talk her.
If she does work those insane hours and you start coming in early, ready to work at X time and then leaving 15-20 minutes after your work time, trust me, she will notice.
Just do it quietly. She is most likely stressed herself and after a week or so, you may notice things you can do to HELP her (in a very quiet way).
And like someone else, she communicates at least - at least you know what is expected.
when they ask for volunteers for extra work they are not excusing u from monthly deadlines.
when u r sick, they are not excusing us from monthly deadlines
when your kid wants you to attend your kids play, the are letting u off for the event with the understanding that u wont miss any of your deadlines.
get it?

OK. She's expecting more from you than what you're delivering. That's the long and short of it - it's up to you to decide if you want to put in the hours it's going to take to meet her expectations.
I've worked for some ridiculously demanding bosses in my life, all of which made me better for it.
The "attendance" part of the warning definitely needs some attention
Meh, I've worked at places where I've received "the talk". So did everyone else where. Just another management strategy to make the worker bees nervous, on edge, and more productive. Not saying you shouldn't be worried, but just saying...
