Re: Poll: Work Promptness

  • I put ss since we don't have set hours we have to be here. I am usually at work around 7:30 give or take 10 minutes
  • I don't really have "set" hours.  When I go to the gym before work I get here around 8 or 8:15, when I don't it's more like 7:30 or 7:45.  Most people come in around 8:30 or 9 though.
  • We have to be punched in by exactly 7am. If the time clock hits 7:01 you are late and get penalized.

  • When I worked, I was always late.  I knew if I hit the clock by :07 no one said anything, so I regularly clocked in at :06.  
  • As a person and in my life - always early.  For work.....it's harder.  Since I have to do daycare in the morning and that limits my train and than I have the x factor of how long it'll take to get to the office from the train, blah blah.  Technically I'll say after 9 is "late" and I'm never at my desk before 9:05. 

    I also walk out at 5:00 to start the trek to get Jane and our day ends at 5:30.

    Who is a model employee?  This girl.

  • I am typically ~30 minutes early.  Our "core hours" are 7:30-5:30 M-Th & 7:30-11:30 Fr.

    Unless I hit the gym before work, I am here by 7am.  If the gym happens, I am here right on time.

    I've been late a handful of times - people love to give my sh*t about being late.

  • Per our contract we don't have to be at school until the bell rings at 8:50am... but I usually arrive around 8:30am.  We have several teachers who arrive at the bell or even after it has rung.... makes me so angry.. I mean really people, I have 3 small children and arrive on time, why can't you!!!
  • We don't have set hours either but I leave at 4 which means I should be here at 7. I don't exactly make that 7 o'clock deadline. I went through a spell where I was between 15-30 minutes late every day and I had to have a pep talk with myself. No one is here until 8 or 8:30 so that whole accountability thing goes at the window. I'm closer to 10 minutes late now. I should've made that my resolution.

    I'm anal about being on time for appts or fun places that, ya know, I actually want to be on time for. Work doesn't fall in that category.

  • I'm usually right on time. My official hours are 8-5.

    I barely have 10 minute commute and unless I wake up after 7:30- there is really no reason why I'm not here by 8am.

    Some morning I stop by DD but I'm still at my desk by 8:05.

    I'm salary and regularly stay late, work through lunch ect so I usually just aim to get here before 8:15/8:30- especially if I have worked late the day before. 

  • This is my New Year's resolution which I am so far failing miserably at.  Baby C appears to not be a morning person  either and I'm responsible for drop off, so that isn't helping.

  • I'm pretty much always early. Our start time is 8:00, but the kids come in at 8:05, so I always try to get there by 7:45 to prepare for the day.

  • We have to be there by 7:45. I usually get to my rom by 7:15. We are supposed to stay until 3:45, but I normally leave around 3:30 because I get there early. Big Smile I'd rather work in the morning with no one to bother me or talk to than in the afternoon when everyone is trying to make copies, etc.
  • Well since I started a new job this, I have been 5 minutes early or right on time at 7am.

    Before this week, I was usually about 15-20 minutes late, I was in the whatever camp for the last several months:)

  • We don't really have an official start time. I'm supposed to get to work between 9 and 9:30, and I'm almost always there before 9:15. Sometimes if traffic is bad or I got up late I'll get there closer to 9:30.
  • My employer is very lax about it and I do daycare drop-off with Nora, so I'm almost always 10-15 minutes late. I usually get to my desk at 8:40, when I'm supposed to be there at 8:30. But it's very common for people to roll in anywhere between 8:20 and 8:50, so *shrug*.

    The only days they are strict about it is on Tuesdays for our all-staff meetings right at 8:30. It pisses them off when people walk into that late, so I'm always on time on Tuesdays (DH takes Nora to daycare those mornings, which helps immensely).

  • I'm at work at 7:30 almost every day. School starts at 8:10 and gets out at 3, but very rarely do I leave before 3:30.
