Manager demands to see no more reports of hourly workers arriving late, employee cleverly complies by requesting HR stop sending attendance reports to manager altogether

In order to get to work on time, you get up bright and early. After a torturous and lengthy journey, you arrive at the office. However, you're so thrilled to have arrived at the office that you forget to log in to the system. Does that little incident define your value as a worker? Or do you believe that your managers will strictly focus on the bigger picture and overlook this unnecessary detail?

The story that follows, however, perfectly demonstrates the significance of logging into work on time. Instead of receiving a set salary, the Original Poster (OP) is paid hourly by his employer. Therefore, when the manager noticed that OP was putting in extra hours, he lost it and demanded that OP alter his ways. OP was taken aback by his manager's response at first because he had previously given OP a lot of praise for his outstanding work. But once OP had recovered from the initial shock, he knew just what to do. OP took matters into his own hands rather than quietly carrying out his manager's instructions.

So, make sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning how OP skillfully complied with his manager! Don't forget to read the story of the savvy job applicant who outsmarts potential employers who post job listings that don't exist so they can use the candidates' assignments!
