ok, gonna vent a bit here and its gonna sound like I'm the old guy and whats up with the new generation.

I have two employees, both are 22 years of age.

one starts at 8:00AM, the other at 12:00PM (noon). Both arrive for work either at the scheduled time of 8 and noon or slightly thereafter, typically within a few minutes.

Here's the part that drives me crazy...their shift starts at those times, in other words, be here ready to work at those times. Not come in at 8 and 12, take your coat off, get coffee, socialize, eat your breakfast/lunch, etc.

I have jokingly commented on these on a couple of occasions hoping they would get the hint but it seems that I may have to be a bit more forceful in my remarks.

Personally, even as a teenager, I was always at work 15-20 minutes early. Finding out what needed to be done, socialized, had a coffee but when my shift started I was working.

Please tell me this tardiness isnt the norm for our newest generation.

thoughts?
