Re: How often are you late for work?
Never!
I'm a contractor, and am paid by the hour, so I turn up/leave when I want pretty much, get paid for the time I work, and as long as the required work is done to a project's timescales, there's nothing much said about it.

Re: How often are you late for work?
I'm supposed to be in at 8:30, and usually show up in the 8:30 - 8:45 range. Occassionally, something will happen to make me considerably late. I often work late too, and RARElY leave early. My boss is usually 15 minutes late, so it's never been too big of a deal. I only have one co-worker who complains about people being late, and I really don't understand why. She has to have her kids at school before 8:00, so she's on time by default, whereas the rest of us just have to be at work for our first thing of the morning. She makes a big deal about how she's always the first one there, and tells me I should be getting in when she does. She, however, isn't my boss, and I don't see why she cares. Since it seems to be quasi-acceptable to be a little late, she could be taking advantage of that too.

Re: How often are you late for work?
If it's a normal day, most of us trickle in between 8am and 8:15am. One comes in around 8:30am. I rarely arrive later than 8:15, but work is right next to my house. If we're having an 8am meeting though, we're all at least five minutes early.

Re: How often are you late for work?
I wish I could stop being on time - or early - for work all the time. I'm sure this is gonna change when I get a real job.

Re: How often are you late for work?
I was chronically late at my old job, but only by about 10 minutes everyday, however I put in about 500 hours of OT in the year and a half I was there so I more than made up to the fuckers before I got canned from that hellhole......

Re: How often are you late for work?
i am late everyday, i work for my dad's construction company part time(while i go to school/p*ker) he yells at me every day almost, how i should be waking up early to arrive at 8.
He is never on time being almost an hour late to the job every day. Like this morning i had to run errands before getting to work, so I decided to sleep late and say the errands took a long time [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] He wants to know when I'm going to start living in the real world, and I say, "I dunno, I applied for it, but I haven't heard back yet." I feel that being that at 8 isn't very important, because for example today I worked til it was dark outside, and worked hard all day, so I think i can show up late oh [censored] I just got started... SO any [censored] way, i'm really supposed to be an "Independent Contractor," not an employee so i should be able to work whenever the [censored] i want, i'm also on call almost 24/7/356, so i say WTF, get off my ass /end rant thanks

Re: How often are you late for work?
[ QUOTE ]
I use to be late all the time until my company switched to flex time. Now I'm just one of the last people to arrive. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah FLEX time rules. I'm almost always the last one in but I am always the last one to leave. Some people I work with are in the office by 6, many are there by 8:30, almost all are there by 9:30 and I come in every day around 10-10:30. However, I never take lunches (and I point that out as much as possible, any time I can tell people are antsy about what time I come in).
