You'd be surprised how far actually caring about one's work goes in getting one to work on time, getting the work done properly, etc.

I had a job once that I just couldn't get to on time, regularly... then I switched jobs to one I felt was more purposeful, and voila, problems disappeared.

This is NOT about ADD or AHDD, or whatever the acronym of the day is. It IS about removing creativity, non-comformity and independence from the workplace. Be good little drone!

Just keep punching that clock at exactly 8:00:00 AM and 5:00:00 PM and make SURE you meet those important DIVERSITY GOALS!

It is an attempt to create a society of 99.997% sheep, by drugging the MOST vital, most creative, most independent of us.

If they are lollygagging around all the time and are just late, yes. If they are constantly getting distracted into things, then perhaps not. I know a person that prior to setting up computer alarms would almost never make meetings because they were distracted by doing their projects and would get completely wrapped up in them. They had more output than any two other people for several months at a time, but would always be late, and their work would peak and valley every few months.

Of course an annual review would show that they were constantly late for work, and would go through spats of missing deadlines. It wouldn't note that they were also often late going home, and had learned how to do every job function in a diverse department.

Kinda bipolar ADHD.
