Boss gives same penalty for being 6 minutes late as for hours, so an always-early employee decides to lay back his mornings, making the most of every write-up: ‘I had a leisurely 2-hour breakfast and got the same write up’

• Same penalty for being 6 minutes late as for being 3 hours late? Ok boss.

• The company’s policy is a masterpiece of logic: five minutes late is fine, but cross that magical threshold and you’re eligible for a write-up, whether you’re six minutes late or you roll in halfway through lunch. Supervisors are supposed to use discretion, but this one prefers the drama of a public call-out. So, when fate next delivers another delay, our hero takes the rule at face value. Instead of sweating over being a little late, he leans into it, pulls off for a leisurely breakfast, and strolls in two and a half hours late, bacon in belly, stress nowhere in sight, and exactly the same penalty as before.
