'Early is on time, on time is late': Boss accuses employee of being the 'queen of tardiness,' employee stands her ground

Bosses who are annoying about promptness should be focusing their attention on far more pressing matters. Whatever happened to focusing on their own tasks and responsibilities? Whatever happened to ensuring that the employees on their team are supported and fulfilled (well, as fulfilled as they can be given the circumstances of work)? Whatever happened to minding their own dang business? In work-related matters such as this, we often go back to our mantra that if the work gets done and gets done well, there shouldn't be any objection.

 

As far as this employee goes, she was also more than prompt! Her shift began at 9:30am, and she often arrived between 9:20-9:24, which is more than enough time. However, she has one of those horrible bosses who believes that "early is on time" and "on time is late." Is there anything more old-school and more eye-roll-inducing than that mentality? The employee shared her story via this thread on Reddit and also shared that their boss is lucky considering that he lives in the same building as the company's offices. He doesn't have to deal with the same commute that she does! Furthermore, he clearly is just feeling insecure and unnecessarily wants to assert his power. He may be a big boss, but he is a small man.

 

Keep scrolling below to see how the employee responded to her boss's critiques and to see how folks reacted in the comments section. When you're finished, feel free to check out this post about a boss's girlfriend who told employees how to do their jobs.
