Sneaky Administration

Had a NM who would hide in order to monitor staff arrival time. If arrived minutes after start time, she would order staff member to put in 15 minutes of PTO. Never happened to me since I was always on time but many others would be caught and had to use their time! No wonder morale was low! She eventually was forced into retirement after so many complaints.

I would have promoted her.  Tardiness is not a virtue, to say the least. 

Some people have never learned that the start time of their shift is when they are expected to start working. 

A worker should arrive early enough to put away their coat, lunch, etc., use the restroom, get a Report sheet, and be ready to start work exactly on time.

A very infrequent tardy arrival, maybe once or twice per year, is acceptable.  And that's it.

I wouldn’t have promoted her but definitely agree with the general concept of this for sure. I am still shocked at my current work place how people think the start time is a suggestion and repeatedly walk on the units (basically all of them since I’m float pool) anywhere from 5-15 minutes past the 6:45 start time. And then some of them take their time putting their stuff away/getting ready. It absolutely blows my mind and boils my blood.
