Maybe if you talked to your employees rather than interfacing with them, you’d get better results.
English is our friend.
How old are you if I may ask? It’s very difficult to be past 50-55 and get decent work. Best of luck to you.
Could be. Could be that she was paid less due to having much less responsibility and expertise than I had. But, I was resentful that she was getting all these strokes and positive feedback for getting to work on time more often.
I know what you are saying. My comment was just a point of sarcasm over all the war on women crap.
My wife works in an office wherein she is the only one on time while others arrive anywhere from ten to 30 minutes late each day. She fumes about it as her plate is full while the workload is not. She got a surprise when she got a promotion recently. The upshot is she is now ostracized! You cannot win sometimes.
“Note to employers: you get as good as you give.”
With the massive incompetence at all levels in every company, don’t ever expect much.
Exactly, PHP was probably the primary language but the idiots running the IT department tossed in a bunch of unknown technologies then claimed they couldn’t find anyone. Fact is, as a CIO I would toss out the door any manager that failed to hire the appropriate level of resources as that is a sign of their incompetence and not just in hiring.
Where I currently work, I am generally the only one who is on time. It seems to be pretty casual about punctuality. For me, it is a matter of being a “morning person”, wanting to have some time to settle in, in the morning, check some personal things, be ready to be productive right away. Also, I am NOT good at doing anything at home in the morning, other than getting showered, dressed, and ready to go (no chores other than maybe toss a few bits into the cat bowl and rinse out my coffee cup). I would rather be ahead of the big traffic surges, as well. Leaving home 10 minutes later can add 15 or more minutes to the commute.
Congratulations to your wife! That is good that she was recognized for standing out in a positive way!
“Businesses will, however, continue targeting their older employees for forced retirement or layoff.”
Die, corporate scum!
I do. The youngsters have a hard time talking without their thumbs moving.
I think he should get the GED, too, or else he might end up in a career in the custodial arts, should this job end.
Interface is not a verb. It is a made-up verb. I loathe this corporate-speak. No one ever blames corporations for the degradation of our language - we blame Hollywood and everyone else. I especially hate the use of acronyms that is so beloved by retail companies - which employees use with lip-smacking self-satisfaction. Bleeeeeech!
You’ve just described me! I’m exactly the same. I get in a half hour early to relax or maybe look at a headline (when I worked in corporate).
The company I worked for had a cafeteria with subsidized breakfasts. I and many others would get there early for bacon, eggs,hash browns and toast and coffee- about $2.50, cheaper than eating at home plus no mess.
I worked for a company that had subsidized lunches - very good; many people made that their main meal, although dinner is always my main meal.
In retail, with short breaks and horrible “break rooms”, with not even free coffee or water coolers, I notice people eat terrible food and have obesity trouble.
51. That’s likely my problem.
many people that have to get up in the morning. shower, and stick on their pants are tired. After work they stop in a store and watch the ebt crowd loading up carts with the goodies the poor working guy has to deliver for his labor, he becomes disgusted and angry.
