Unless it was job critical, I could never stand bosses/managers who did not recognize that employees often do not leave on time either and often stay longer to get things finished up and it balances out. The amount of time I ended up staying at the office at the end of the day to finish things up that couldn't be abandoned right at 5:00 so I could go home on time usually ended up to be far in excess of the times I spent being less punctual or slow in getting going in the morning.
We still don't know that many specifics of this particular job in question but if it is time critical that they be punctual then there so be no argument. |
The problem is it doesn't always balance out. I've been a salaried employee where my employer thought letting me go 15 minutes early a couple of times a month was "balancing out" the overtime I was putting in. I was actually tracking my over time and the time she was giving me and it turns out I had put in over 100 hours of uncompensated overtime.
I rather just get paid for my time and now that I own my own business I rather people just charge me for their time. When you go by the "it all works out" philosophy, somebody is getting screwed.
