It was an ACCIDENT! Let me know where you work. I'd like to contact your boss and ask him to fire you the next time you make a mistake. You'll be gone by the end of the week! It requires intent for it to be a crime. Sorry if I went over your head there.

no no !cops are very understanding about these things...being late for work gives you priorety over abulances, firetrucks and especially police cars...this is from a law in the 30s when workers were fighting for more rights.

A message to all - With regard to martial arts, it is never to late.\n\nDon't think about it another minute. Start researching and get training. You will regret tomorrow what you didn't start today!

1. General manager should tell "A" that he could see there was too much to do so he turned over a little to "B" to help him out then apologize for not thinking to tell him about it first.  No excuses, just the truth.\n\n2.  Tell the boss that you had an important personal phone call and you apologize for being late.\n\n3.  Let the child know it wasn't their fault that you lost patience with them, let them always know you're human, then if you still can help with the math problem or spend some quality time with him.  Don't go buying stuff to make up for it.

I forget what movie I saw it on, some mobster movie, they beat a guy with a bag of oranges. I worked in a bike shop(no oranges)my boss was a jerk. I beat him with a bag of tricycles. A big mistake, although I have learned to assemble fishing lures in prison and I am sure when I get out, I will be able to utilize this new skill.\nAs for the whole cleaning thing, where does that boss of yours get that idea that you should be cleaning instead of your job. I say you get out of the janitorial business altogether.

yes ... always have been ... I get in to work about 8:20-8:30 ... I'm supposed to be here at 8 ... it doesn't matter if I left the house 30 minutes earlier ... I would still get here late ... sigh ... \n\nI'm lucky that I have a relaxed office and that I can put in hours as needed ... sometimes its 8 hrs a day others are 10 hour days ... it all balances in the end

Because before these laws were passed,workers rarely recieved breaks from their employers. They were getting injured due to being overworked. They were tired, and made alot of mistakes. It was inhumane.

Because people generally do things with their hands. If you've got too much time on your hands, it means you've not got enough things to do.

That sounds to me like he was late and if there are strict guidelines to putting in the time then you'll have to wait.  The company does have expenses related to processing payroll and holding things up for 1 check could prevent the entire company from getting paid (many payroll processing companies require 1 to 2 days).  \n\nIt sounds to me like a big company that doesnt really care about their employees to me though.\n\nSource - i run a payroll processing company.

Well, where I work, we use that phrase to describe a meeting where the management takes an hour or so to tell you to do more, but wastes the time of the meeting to do it. \n\nA simple note in the mailbox would do the same thing and not suck up valuable time. \n\nAnd just to be a bit on the funny side, time suck would happen if your vacuum picked up your watch. Ciao!

This is because managers want you at work when you are supposed to be there.  If you have a schedule of work hours - you are scheduled between those specific hours for a reason, so that they have coverage to conduct their business.  Being late & absent regularly does not put you in favor with your manager.  They are not looking to do you favors & help you out, let's just be realistic.  By them telling you that the hours can't be made up, they are sort of punishing you too.  I am sure you don't get paid for hours that you don't work so they aren't going to reward you for being late by allowing you to make up the time & money.

I try to be on time, but it seems that I will inevitably find something at the last minute and be late! It's as if some part of my mind is intent on rebellion! I could be ready 2 hours or more in advance-- but sure enough I will find something that will interfere and cause me to be late! I always thought it was just coincidental, but finally realized I am just predictably late. So I make sure I do not allow any sidetracking and all is well.

it really depends on the employer  there is no universal law about late arrivals but check your company's policy on termination and you might see a late arrival policy.\n\nAlso an employer can write you up for being late and so many write ups can lead you to being fired.

Next time use the Brown service.  \n\nI suspect as this stage all you can do is stew about it.  I am curious though about the delay to Wednesday.  I suspect if you push the right buttons, you could find a way to pick it up or have it delivered on Tuesday.
