Keep pretending to pay a fair wage and I'll pretend to give a shit about being on time.
I don't think they'll be pretending to pay for long if you keep being late lol
Yeah... better to get there on time and then slack off at work.
I mean yeah? I don't know how employment contracts work elsewhere but here it says when you should be at work and of course by (repeatedly) breaking your contract you'll get sacked. Fair enough imo
Lots of people work salary
Does that mean they are contracted for certain work but not certain hours or certain time of day?
Depends on your position and workplace: Some really don't care when you come in as long as you're getting shit done, others are the opposite. I've worked both and prefer working at places that don't care as long as things run smoothly.
You'd be super wrong there, at least in my case: I'm late all the time, not only do I still have my job, I get great reviews and token raises every time I'm up for review. If I left, they'd be in trouble, they definitely won't fire me. I don't bust my ass and they understand I won't be taking calls outside of designated hours, doing anything heroic, etc. but I am still very valuable to my employer.
I joked about having a job interview once during a meeting with leadership and it was one of the most awkward silences I'd ever heard until I told them I was just kidding: They thought I was serious and their terror was palpable. My manager once told me I'd have to commit multiple crimes to get fired when I made a joke about getting fired because there was an end of day meeting on a Friday.
I stay because it's a chill job and I like most of the people I work with even though the pay isn't amazing, but I could probably go somewhere else and make at least 30-50% more, though at the possible cost of more stress and less job security. My commute is pretty great too, 2 miles away and sometimes I even walk to work.
Have you got caught?
It's not exactly a secret, but sure I guess? I've said hi to my boss, their boss, the CIO's secretary, the CIO, etc. when coming in late plenty of times.
Seems your boss is pretty lenient about it
My boss, my boss's boss, etc. - you work at the right place and are valuable enough, they 100% don't care if you're a little late, even if it's every day! They let me leave early if I want too and if my lunch break runs a little long, that's fine. Not every place is a micromanaged shithole.
