graculusI'm not a morning person, not by a long way.
As a result, though some days I need to get into work bright and early (particularly if I've got meetings I can't get out of), I tend to roll in a little bit later than other people do. Okay, quite a bit later than other people do.
However since it's rare I stop work at 5pm, and my boss knows well and good he's more than getting his money's worth out of me, it's never been a major issue. Likewise the hour lunchbreak on my contract has achieved almost mythical status - I think in 5 years I could probably count on the fingers of both hands the times I've actually *had* an hour's lunch.
Yesterday the admin staff suddenly produced a new signing-in sheet with spaces for times. This would be why I'm still sitting *here* online instead of being on my way to work already. It doesn't make me want to get to work on time, it makes me want to get to work later than usual! Not the desired effect, I'm sure.
A small act of rebellion but mine own. ;)

Date: 2004-01-28 01:33 am (UTC)spy on usrecord the information.That on the same day the news breaks that the goalposts have been dramatically moved in respect to a pay increase we were scheduled to get in April. Dumbasses, I wonder if they're writing a book on '10 Top Tips to Screw With Your Staff Morale'?
And then they wonder why we have a high staff turnover...
