Never Being Late
“Late” is not being at your work station as scheduled. It is not filling an order when the customer needs it. It is not turning in reports when management needs them.
Being late shows a lack of consideration of your company and fellow workers. When you are late, somebody or something must wait for you. Being late costs everybody, but it can cost you the most, either in penalties, such as docked pay, or, if you are habitually late, it will cost you your job.
Questions for Reflection:
Be honest. How often are you late?
Besides being late for work, how else does your punctuality help or harm others?
What does being late say about maturity level and responsibility?
