Sample input
I met with manager Dana Lee on May 12 by video after an attendance conversation with J.R. The manager cited late arrivals on April 29, May 5, and May 9. J.R. agreed the time records were correct, explained that a bus route changed, and requested a 15-minute shift change. The manager restated the 9:00 a.m. start time, reviewed call-in steps, and agreed to answer the schedule request by May 15. A follow-up is set for May 27.
