    Going by George's article, a job like that would drive me insane. I'd last five minutes before I told the C-Man behind the app to eff off.

      I admit it. I can be late sometimes. Nah, I can be a couple of minutes late, a lot.

      And I'm not good looking.

      But I'm A) extremely reliable (missed four days work in 34 years, B) extremely rugged (I led my section in OT for over twenty years, and C) I wasn't half bad at what I did.

          That job sounds awful. If you monitor your people all the time, clearly demonstrating that you don't trust your employees even to take reasonable bathroom breaks, what kind of loyalty or professionalism do you expect to receive in return?

          I was only joking

            They don’t. These are employers who decided to rely on sensors and algorithms.

                That's right.

                I always planned on being at work 20 min early. When I worked in the city, the weather and traffic were an issue. On the days when I was running the OR, I'd show up 35 minutes early. That way, I could get a cup of coffee, have a smoke and see the schedule. So, "late" for me was "later than I want to be" but never late to start working.

                When the kids were little, I took about 4 sick days due to transmitted illnesses (that was from 1980 through 1988). But from 1989 to 2016, no sick days.

                    Traffic going downtown in the 1980s wasn't that bad - if you left home at 6:00. Private practice was much easier - it was a 12 minute drive.

                      We have flexi-time where I work, but you're supposed to be in by 9am. Typically people start between 7.30 and 8.00.

                      I was once told off by my former boss for getting in late (at 8.15). Tosser.
