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?

IMO this is how everyone is. Corporate america is about appearing to do good in leu of actually doing good.

Most people would rather coast through making a comfortable living than pushing hard and maybe excelling.
